Kristen Wiig is teaming up with Jonah Hill for his upcoming Warner Bros. comedy Cut Off, a project Hill is directing and co-writing. The film, which also has Ezra Woods attached as co-writer, will hit theaters worldwide on July 17, 2026, going head-to-head with Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
The story follows two wealthy siblings who suddenly find themselves cut off from their parents, a plot device that isn’t new, but I’m sure that it’ll deliver some fun laughs.
Production is moving fast, with filming set to begin this fall. Backed by a $10 million California tax credit, the movie is expected to have a $49 million budget. Hill’s production company, Strong Baby, is producing through Matt Dines and Ali Goodwin, with Hill also serving as a producer.
Wiig is currently starring in and executive producing season two of Palm Royale on Apple TV+, returning this fall after earning an Emmy nomination for her performance in season one.
She’s also set to play the villain in Universal’s family film Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, opening September 26. Wiig’s film résumé includes the smash hit Bridesmaids, which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay in 2012.
Hill, meanwhile, is coming off directing, producing, and co-writing Apple’s Outcome, starring Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz, and Matt Bomer, set for spring 2026. Strong Baby recently produced the Amazon/A24 series Overcompensating and HBO’s acclaimed docuseries The Mortician. Hill’s past directing credits include Netflix’s Stutz and his debut feature Mid90s for A24.
With Cut Off, Wiig and Hill are bringing together sharp comedic instincts, a strong creative team, this could be a big fun comedy.
