The incredible all-star cast doesn’t stop there as the film features several household names from both Hollywood and the UK.

Barbie director Greta Gerwig is playing Ron’s wife, while British national treasure Jim Broadbent will play the director who catapulted Jay to fame.

Also making appearances in undisclosed roles are Emily Mortimer, Patrick Wilson, Eve Hewson, Lenny Henry, Isla Fisher and Jamie Demetriou.

Rounding out the supporting cast are Nicôle Lecky, Thaddea Graham, Alba Rohrwacher, Josh Hamilton, Louis Partridge, Parker Sawyers, Patsy Ferran, Lars Eidinger, Kyle Soller, Tom Francis and Giovanni Esposito.

The film also has plenty of talent behind the camera, as writer-director Baumbach is known for acclaimed films such as The Squid and the Whale and Marriage Story, as well as co-writing Barbie with his wife and collaborator Gerwig.

Actress Emily Mortimer, who is co-starring in Jay Kelly, also co-wrote the film with Baumbach.

Mortimer is best known for films such as Hugo and Mary Poppins returns, and has written for television for the comedy series Doll & Em and period romance The Pursuit of Love, which she directed.

Jay Kelly will be released in select cinemas on 14th November and 5th December on Netflix.
