The video introduces Emmy winner Julie Kavner as the narrator, who tells the story of a young woman’s journey to becoming a governor while trying to balance her personal and work problems. It also features a closer look at the rest of its all-star cast, including Jack Lowden, Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, Spike Fearn, Julie Kavner, Rebecca Hall, Becky Ann Baker, and Joey Brooks, with Albert Brooks and Woody Harrelson.

Ella McCay is written and directed by James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment). This marks Brooks’ feature directorial comeback, after a decade since 2010’s romantic comedy How Do You Know. It is produced by Brooks, Julie Ansell, Jennifer Brooks, and Richard Sakai, with Seth Meier serving as an executive producer.

“My goal for this movie was to pay tribute, as best I could, to the golden age of movie comedy, the 1940s and 50s, when each of the Hepburns reigned,” Brooks said in a statement. “The challenge all along was to maintain the same zany spirit of that era, while still taking seriously the inevitable jolts, pains, and pitfalls of being human. I was lucky enough to have a dream cast who delivered this story about Ella and her family with an energy and spirit way past what I’d imagined.
