Schumer will next be seen in Rebecca Miller’s “She Came to Me” alongside Steve Carell and Nicole Kidman. She will also star in and produce “Who Invited Her?” with Reese Witherspoon via her Pacific Standard banner. She also most recently launched an original podcast on Spotify called  “Amy Schumer Presents: 3 Girls, 1 Keith.”

She is represented by The Lede Company, Maverick Management and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham.
