Justine Lupe, an actress increasingly familiar to audiences through her memorable performances, is poised to expand her reach with a new leading role on Prime Video. Best known for portraying Willa Ferreyra, Connor Roy's partner in the critically acclaimed 'Succession,' and more recently as Morgan in Netflix's popular romantic comedy 'Nobody Wants This,' Lupe's career trajectory continues its upward climb.

Industry reports, including those from Deadline, indicate that Lupe has been tapped for 'Settling,' a romantic comedy series currently in development for Prime Video. The show, which will feature 30-minute episodes, is created by Briana Pozner and Colin Lupe. Adding to its rom-com pedigree, Will Gluck, the director behind hit films like 'Anyone But You,' 'Easy A,' and 'Friends with Benefits,' is attached to direct.

In 'Settling,' Justine Lupe will star as Jessy, a character who has always viewed romantic commitment as a hindrance to her personal freedom. The series will explore the intertwining paths of Jessy and Max, another character who perceives coupledom primarily as a source of immense pressure. Their lives take an unexpected turn when Jessy discovers she is experiencing early menopause, while Max confronts a personal crisis rooted in loneliness. The narrative will follow their journey as they attempt to overcome their deep-seated fears to forge a lasting relationship, despite their initial aversions to commitment.

It's important to note that 'Settling' is still in the development phase and has not yet received an official series order from Prime Video. However, its premise and the talent attached suggest a promising addition to the streamer's romantic comedy slate.

Lupe's schedule remains packed beyond this potential Prime Video project. Fans can catch her reprising her role as Morgan in the third season of 'Nobody Wants This,' which premiered on Netflix on October 22nd. In this season, her character navigates the aftermath of a breakup and explores a evolving friendship. Furthermore, Variety has reported her involvement in an untitled Netflix spy comedy alongside Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill, directed by McG. She is also slated to appear in 'Sponsor,' an Apple thriller featuring Jason Segel and John C. Reilly, directed by James Ponsoldt. This diverse array of projects highlights Lupe's versatility and her growing prominence across the streaming landscape.
