I Want You Back, a new comedy starring Jenny Slate and Charlie Day, has just received an official release date of February 11, 2022. The film will premiere directly on Amazon Prime Video.
I Want You Back will tell the story of two people who think they have it all, but after being left by their respective significant others, hatch plans to shake up the lives of their exes and hopefully get them back. On top of Day and Slate, this upcoming rom-com stars Gina Rodriguez, Scott Eastwood, Manny Jacinto, Clark Backo, Mason Gooding, Dylan Gelula, Jami Gertz, Jordan Carlos, Isabel May, and Luke David Blumm.

Aptaker and Berger both wrote the script for 2015's Love, Simon as well as several episodes of This is Us. The duo also co-created the Hulu series, Love, Victor.

In their thirties and terrified that they have missed their shot at happily ever after, Emma and Peter are horrified to learn that their partners have already moved on. With no prospects on the horizon and the threat of dying alone hanging over their heads, they hatch a desperate plan to put an end to their exes’ new relationships and win them back."
