It was also previously reported that the screenplay was written by Rap Sh!t showrunner Syreeta Singleton and that Lawrence Lamont will direct. As for what else the duo is up to these days, SZA is currently working on her third studio album, Lana. The project has seen various delays. Despite originally being announced as a deluxe edition of SOS, it will now consist entirely of new music. Last month, she also announced that she'd be taking a break from performing to "get [her] life together."

Recently, it was revealed that Palmer will star in a TV adaptation of the 1989 dark comedy, The 'Burbs. She also reunited with the father of her child Darius Jackson for her birthday last month. The celebration even sparked rumors that the Nope star was expecting again. She quickly shut this speculation down, however, making it clear that she doesn't have plans for another little one anytime soon.
