You Deserve Each Other? More like we deserve this.
Huge news for actors whose names end in double-N: Meghann Fahy and Penn Badgley are making a movie together, and it sounds like the perfect combination of every wedding cliché turned on their heads. We are so excited. Not only are they two of our favorite TV actors, but they’re already having fun online and getting us excited for the next romantic comedy from industry veterans.
Here’s everything we know about You Deserve Each Other.
The directors have an extensive rom-com résumé.
You Deserve Each Other, adapted from the novel by Sarah Hogle, was originally adapted by Brett Haley and Marc Basch, but Amazon MGM brought on veteran screenwriters Mac Silverstein and Abby Kohn to revise and direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Silverstein and Kohn have worked on projects like The Vow, Never Been Kissed, How to Be Single, He’s Just Not That Into You, and more.
The plot is the stuff of classic hijinks.
According to the outlet, the story follows Nick and Naomi, a couple who have fallen out of love and try to each convince the other to call off the wedding by means of sabotage and emotional manipulation. Which may explain…
So that’s why they were “fighting” online.
On June 30, the day the news hit the trades, @commentsbycelebs posted a strange back-and-forth between Fahy and Badgley in which Badgley praised Fahy’s performance in the Netflix series Sirens but called her out for being “gawky.” Then Fahy asked him not to comment on her body, and the whole thing was very awkward.

Honestly, it all makes a ton more sense when you realize they are joking, especially with Fahy straight-up saying she never watched his show You.
When does You Deserve Each Other come out?
Dunno. Premiere and other cast details are under wraps for now, but we will update you as we hear!
