The Weinstein Company (TWC) has closed the deal on rights to screenwriter April Prosser’s comedy Plus One.

Gloria Sanchez Productions, the division of Gary Sanchez Productions dedicated to female-driven film and TV projects, will produce with executives Jessica Elbaum, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay taking lead.

This will mark the second feature to go into development for Prosser, whose screenplay The One That Got Away landed her on the 2012 Black List and is being produced by Mason Novick and directed by Ari Sandel at Amazon Studios.

TWC’s Julie Rapaport and Melissa Wells will oversee production on Plus One, about a newly single woman who finds a wing women in a loud, sexually candid wild card.
