told The Post about Spears. “She’s been carrying this torch [to return] for 15 years and wanting to come back and do this.”
“Like they say, it’s no coincidence where you end up in your life,” Hower said. “We wanted to make a funny rom-com about when all your friends are getting married off and you’re in that time of your life where you’re like, ‘Oh God, what happened to me?!'”©Disney Channel/Courtesy Everett Collection “We started doing a lot of improv around the scenes — about what happened before and after — and these actors had really thought deeply about this … they really brought their A game and the love they have for each other is profound.”Hower said Spears, who’s also an executive producer on “Zoey 102,” was deeply involved in the movie on several fronts.
“I wanted to elevate this world,” she said. “These characters came from a private school and they’re LA kids so I pitched it as ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ meets ‘Crazy Rich Asians,'” Hower said. “It should have a larger-the-life feel.”
