Hadley Robinson and Lauren Tsai Both Tabbed to Star in Netflix’s MOXIE

Both Hadley Robinson and Lauren Tsai have been cast to star in the Amy Poehler-directed Netflix film, Moxie.

The story centers on a girl (Robinson) from a small town who is inspired by her mother’s Riot Girl past and starts a feminist revolution at her high school.

Poehler’s most-recent project includes voicing characters Duncan and Annie, over 13 episodes, in Duncanville, a series about an average kid named Duncan who dreams of making it big without having to wear a suit and tie to do so. The show is currently in the pre-production phase.

Robinson is currently filming a television series called, Utopia, about a group of young adults, who all meet online, get hold of a cult underground graphic novel, which not only pins them as a target, but also burdens them with saving the world. The nine-episode pilot season launches in 2020.

Tsai is coming off an eight-episode run to close out the final season of Legion, in which she played the mutant named Switch. The show spotlighted David Haller, a troubled young man diagnosed as schizophrenic, but after a strange encounter, he discovers special powers that will change his life forever, not to mention that he is actually the son of Professor Charles Xavier, the man who founded the X-Men!

Production for Moxie begins in late October, 2019, so keep an eye out for this film to launch on Netflix at some point in 2020.
