Natalie Morales has landed a well-deserved role.

The 40-year-old Cuban American actress has joined the cast of Amazon MGM Studios’ feature film You Deserve Each Other, a take on Sarah Hogle’s bestselling novel of the same name.

Morales is among a list of new cast additions that includes Justin Long, Kyle MacLachlan, Ana Gasteyer, Timothy Busfield, Hope Davis, Delaney Rowe, Lisa Gilroy and Alyssa Limperis.

They join previously cast Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy.

Billed as a lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy, You Deserve Each Other, follows Naomi Westfield who has the perfect fiancé: Nicholas Rose who holds doors open for her, remembers her restaurant orders, and comes from the kind of upstanding society family any bride would love to be a part of. They never fight. They’re preparing for their lavish wedding that’s three months away. And she is miserably and utterly sick of him.

Naomi wants out, but there’s a catch: whoever ends the engagement will have to foot the nonrefundable wedding bill. When Naomi discovers that Nicholas, too, has been feigning contentment, the two of them go head-to-head in a battle of pranks, sabotage, and all-out emotional warfare.

But with the countdown looming to the wedding that may or may not come to pass, Naomi finds her resolve slipping. Because now that they have nothing to lose, they’re finally being themselves – and having fun with the last person they expect: each other.

Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn are directing.

Morales, who starred in The Grey’s Anatomy and No Hard Feelings, will play the role of Cassie.  

First published in 2020 by Penguin imprint G.P. Putnam’s Sons, Hogle’s novel was a 2x Goodreads Choice Awards nominee, for best romance and best debut, in addition to being an Amazon Editors’ Pick for best romance.
