Quotes
Kate Cortesi
Playwright and creator of the Disney+ series
“Watching Maddy hurdle toward self-actualization through a string of self-destructive choices is a ride I hope will be funny, sad, and occasionally worrisome—but ultimately a celebration of how true community catches us when we fall and helps us grow up. This one is for the free spirits, the poor decision-makers, and the unapologetic lovers of life.”

“I can’t wait to introduce the world to Maddy Caruso, our wedding planner extraordinaire who is equal parts witty, wise, and wretched.”
