Happiest Season follows Stewart’s character and her on screen partner as they head to their annual holiday family party, where a marriage proposal goes horribly wrong when one half of the couple realises the other had not yet come out to their conservative parents.

DuVall and Stewart’s collaboration will see queer women as both director and star of the film. Both have often taken on LGBTIQ+ roles on screen as well, with Stewart most recently starring as Lizzie Borden’s lover in the historical thriller Lizzie and DuVall as the gruff security officer Margory in Veep and as Graham in But I’m A Cheerleader.

This will also be DuVall’s second foray into directing and telling LGBTIQ+ stories, making her award-winning debut in 2016 with The Intervention featuring Orange Is The New Black star Natasha Lyonne, Arrested Development’s Alia Shawkat and Parks & Recreation‘s Ben Schwartz.

Happiest Season is being released by Sony-owned TriStar pictures, the same studio that brought the well-received Love, Simon to life last year.
