The film will be fully financed by Gold Circle, and company president Paul Brooks will produce. (The company last made the musical comedy Pitch Perfect.)

Nalluri directed the period romantic comedy Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day and has helmed episodes of Brit TV series MI-5 and the CW’s Emily Owens, M.D.

On top of starring in Suburgatory, Levy is making her horror-movie debut as the female lead in the upcoming remake of Evil Dead, which opens April 5.

She is repped by WME and Sloane Offer.
