Molly Gordon to Direct and Star in A24’s Comedy ‘Peaked’


Molly Gordon, best known for 'The Bear' and 'Theater Camp,' is writing, directing and starring in the upcoming comedy 'Peaked' for A24.

According to the official logline, the film follows “the two girls who traumatized you in high school as they try to relive their glory days at their 10-year reunion.” Gordon is co-writing the screenplay with her friend Allie Levitan, who was recently hired as a writer on “Saturday Night Live.” That movie, described as a new take on the 1987 Shelly Long and Bette Midler blockbuster comedy “Outrageous Fortune,” started production in May 2024, though the release timeline for “Small Parts” is unclear. Her other credits include “Booksmart,” “Shiva Baby,” “You People” and the upcoming comedy “Oh, Hi!” Gordon is represented by WME and Gang, Tyre, Ramer, Brown & Passman.
