Two-time Emmy winner Keke Palmer is boarding Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut, Good Fortune at Lionsgate, which also stars the Parks & Recreation alum, Keanu Reeves and Seth Rogen.
Palmer was originally set to star in Ansari’s previous directorial debut at Searchlight, Being Mortal, before that movie was shut down by the studio over alleged inappropriate conduct by star Bill Murray. Palmer, in the wake of that experience, had nothing but praise for Ansari when Deadline spoke to her at the Nope premiere in summer 2022.
“I had a wonderful time filming,” Palmer told us at Nope. “Aziz Ansari is one of the coolest people that I ever met. That was the coolest experience, but I don’t know anything more than that.”
Her role in Good Fortune is under wraps. Ansari writes, directs, and stars in the comedy; which is produced by Anthony Katagas, Alan Yang and Ansari, and...

I solemnly swear that, as a non-fan of comedy, I watched End of the Line with an open mind. Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of double-entendres in general, and when they come from adults, they’re especially uninspiring and drab. End of the Line is a Portuguese-language sitcom that is recorded in front of a live audience and tells the story of a man named Ivan who is estranged from his wife and drives a van around.
