Andrew Nunnelly penned the script, which landed on the 2025 Black List.

Full plot details are under wraps, but the Black List logline noted that the “Waffle House Index” is a metric use by FEMA to measure the severity of a natural disaster, and Jane works the graveyard shift at her local Waffle House with a storm coming.

Apple Studios will serve as the studio and Plan B will produce.

In addition to starring, Navarrette will serve as executive producer.

The package began coming together in August, with sources saying Apple moved quickly to land rights. Sources say Apple paid in the low-seven figure range for package.

 She also appeared in the CW series Superman & Lois.
