Actress, Television Host and Producer Lala Anthony has officially inked a deal to appear in the upcoming Netflix holiday film, Holiday Rush. Anthony celebrated the news with a short post on Instagram earlier today. She wrote, “[I’m] beyond grateful to do what I love. Thank you, Netflix. I’m so excited to join the amazing cast and crew of Holiday Rush. Let’s go!” The film’s description includes the following:
“Single dad and radio DJ Rashon “Rush” Williams loses his job right as his four entitled kids share their pricey Christmas lists. To keep Rush on the air in New York, his producer and aunt plan to help him buy another station — if the Williams family can downsize fast and embrace a simpler life. In this heartwarming film, a loving father reconnects with his children when they all learn that true joy comes from who you have, not what you have.”
Romany Malco, Sonequa Martin-Green, Deon Cole and many more have already signed on to appear in the film. Leslie Small will act as the film’s director and Sean Dwyer and Greg Cope White will write the script. The film does not have a specific release date, but is expected to be released this fall.
