Paramount has rounded out the cast of the comedy Instant Family.
Oscar nominee Octavia Spencer will join Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne in the feature, along with Transformers: The Last Knight breakout Isabela Moner. The newly announced cast also includes a trio of stand-up comedians: Tig Notaro, Iliza Shlesinger and Tom Segura.
Instant Family centers on a couple (Wahlberg and Byrne) who decide to start a family and adopt through the foster-care system, only to find themselves raising three wild kids who have no interest in being parented. Moner will play one of the foster kids, along with newcomers Gustavo Quiroz and Julianna Gamiz.
Director Sean Anders (Daddy’s Home) will helm from a script he wrote with John Morris. Anders, Wahlberg and Steve Levinson will produce the feature, which is set to begin shooting next month.
Paramount is set to release Instant Family on Feb. 15, 2019.
