Amy Poehler Is Directing Another Netflix Movie

Now Playing 100 Best Shows on TV Right Now

Amy Poehler is quickly becoming a company woman for Netflix.

According to Deadline, Poehler — whose directorial debut lands on Netflix this May — will be directing a second movie for the streaming service. This time, she'll step behind the lens of the film adaptation of Moxie, based on the Jennifer Mathieu novel of the same name.

Moxie centers on a teen girl named Vivian who is tired of the rampant misogyny of her high school and, after finding out that her mother was part of a '90s punk underground called Riot Grrrl, decides to kick off a feminist revolution of her own by starting an anonymous magazine that catches on with other girls.

The film's script was penned by Tamara Chestna (the former executive producer of The Art of More), but Poehler has been working on this project for a couple of years now. She was featured on the blurb for the book — writing, "Moxie is sweet, funny, and fierce. Read this and then join the fight" — and her production company Paper Kite nabbed the rights to give the screen treatment to Moxie back in 2017.

Production on Moxie will reportedly begin this fall.

Meanwhile, Deadline also reports that Poehler's directorial debut, Wine Country, will land on Netflix this May.

Wine Country centers on a friend group's road trip to Napa to celebrate a birthday. Poehler stars in the movie alongside some of her frequent on-screen collaborators, including Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph and Rachel Dratch.

In addition, Poehler and her production company were behind Netflix's new hit original series, Russian Doll, which she co-created alongside series star Natasha Lyonne and Leslye Headland. Poehler previously starred in the streaming service's back-to-back reboots of Wet Hot American Summer and A Very Murray Christmas.

Amy Poehler To Direct ‘Moxie’ At Netflix; Riot Grrrl-Inspired Teen Starts Feminist Revolution At Her High School

EXCLUSIVE: Amy Poehler has set her next directorial project for Netflix. It will be Moxie, a Tamara Chestna-scripted adaptation of the Jennifer Mathieu novel which Poehler’s Paper Kite acquired last year.

Poehler will produce through her Paper Kite banner along with Veep’s Morgan Sackett and Paper Kite development director Kim Lessing. Sackett and Poehler worked together on Wine Country and Parks and Rec. They previously worked together on Wine Country and Parks and Rec. Production will begin in the fall.

Wine Country marks the feature directing debut of Poehler, and it will premiere on Netflix in May. Poehler stars alongside Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey, Tina Fey, Maya Erskine, Jason Schwartzman, and Cherry Jones.

Moxie tells the story of a 16-year-old girl from a small town who is inspired by her mother’s past as part of the underground punk movement Riot Grrrl, and uses it as the catalyst to start a feminist revolution at her high school.

Paper Kite is also behind the new hit Netflix show Russian Doll and the upcoming second season of Making It on NBC, which Poehler co-hosts.

Chestna was EP of the Dennis Quaid-Kate Bosworth series The Art Of More, and spent the last year working on her project Wildside for YouTube Premium, with Gary Fleder directing, and Scarlett’s Method for Snapchat. On the feature side she wrote Other People’s Love Letters and Revenge Wedding for CBS Films, with Cheryl Hines just set to direct the latter. She also scripted Everything’s Cool for Iconoclast/Anonymous Content, and After. That Jennifer Gage-directed film just wrapped at Paramount with Offspring Entertainment producing.

Poehler and Paper Kite are repped by WME and 3 Arts Entertainment; Chestna is Verve, Industry and Felker Toczek.
