This coming-of-age story will be based on a script by Prathi Srinivasan and Joshua Levy. It will start shooting in Syracuse, New York next month, and focus on the adventures of two high school students who have to come up with a plan to buy a morning-after pill in less than 24 hours.

Morales is best known for her roles in Parks and Recreation and Dead to Me, but she’s no stranger to directing. She helmed several short films, in addition to episodes of HBO’s comedy Room 104, created by Jay and Mark Duplass.

Despite her attempts to branch out to directing, Morales isn’t taking a break from acting and she has several projects in the works. She’s expected to play one of the lead roles in comedy thriller Happily, and star alongside Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jared Leto in The Little Things.

Multiple outlets confirm that Hulu has ordered an eight-episode third season of the series based on the book Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman by Lindy West. The third season’s episode count is similar to the second, while the first season was just six episodes. 

Shrill was co-created by Aidy Bryant and Ali Rushfield. Bryant also stars as protagonist Annie, a fat young woman who wants to change her life — but not her body. Annie tried to start her career while juggling bad boyfriends, a sick parent, and a perfectionist boss. After facing her demons — her mom, her boss and her online troll — Annie started season two feeling pretty good with boyfriend Ryan (Luka Jones) by her side. That is, until she realized that hastily quitting her job and jumping into a relationship with someone who is a little less career-focused may not have been the best idea.

News of Shrill’s renewal comes just over two months after the launch of season 2 on Hulu.

The story follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. It stars Kerry Washington as Mia Warren and Reese Witherspoon as Elena Richardson. The two are also executive producers on the show. 

“We had been looking for a project to do with Kerry for a long time,” Witherspoon said at the Television Critics Association presentation on Friday. “When I read the book, it just had so many themes that were very complex, and I knew whoever was going to be my partner… who was going to show up to do the work, because it’s a lot of work. The first person who I thought was perfect was Kerry. She deepens the conversation and I knew I wanted to go on this journey with her. It just made sense that we were representing completely different kinds of women and different kinds of mothering but both with dignity and respect.”
