Rebel Wilson returns as writer-director and star of "Girl Group," a musical comedy that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and has been hailed as a fun spiritual successor to her breakout "Pitch Perfect" franchise. Wilson plays Tassie Young, a popstar who shot to fame with a girl group discovered at a 1996 talent show, only to be pushed out in 2006 because of her partying, and who now finds herself unwelcome when her former bandmates reunite for a tour without her.

Following a DUI arrest, Tassie is sentenced to teach music to teenage girls at a Los Angeles community centre, where she uncovers their talent and mentors them towards a major-label audition. The ensemble cast includes Jennifer Coolidge, Randall Park and Jamie-Lee O'Donnell, alongside cameos from Spice Girl Mel C, Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger, Sally Hawkins and Chris Colfer, with choreographed covers of songs by artists including Destiny's Child, Billie Eilish and Chappell Roan. The 103-minute film was shown in TIFF's Gala Presentations strand and is being sold by UTA and Live Nation Studios.
