Kenyan director Wanuri Kahiu, responsible for the critically-acclaimed (if sadly under-seen) 2018 film Rafiki, continues to add projects. Having already been announced as working on (in no particular order) the Octavia Butler adaptation Wild Seed, the musical Once On This Island for Disney+, and The Thing About Jellyfish for Universal, another project in the works (and per THR, her next film) is Plus/Minus for Netflix, to star Riverdale's Lili Reinhart:
Reinhart will star as Natalie, whose life, on the eve of her college graduation, diverges into two parallel realities: one in which she becomes pregnant and must navigate motherhood as a young adult in her Texas hometown, the other in which she moves to L.A. to pursue her career. In both journeys throughout her 20s, Natalie experiences life-changing love, devastating heartbreak, and rediscovers herself.
