We’re those people this time.” Kristen Bell, Allison Janney, and Ben Platt become The People We Hate At The Wedding in the latest official trailer from Prime Video. The comedy follows Bell’s family as tensions heat up among the siblings in the week leading up to their half-sister’s wedding.
Claire Scanlon is attached as director, with previous work including Set it Up and episodes of The Office and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin helped write the screenplay, and they often work with Bob’s Burgers, The Great North, and are set to write Deadpool 3.

MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY
The official synopsis for The People We Hate At The Wedding reads:
John Macmillan, Jorma Taccone, Dustin Milligan, Tony Goldwyn, Julian Ovenden, and Karan Soni accompany the lead stars in the film. The People We Hate At The Wedding is set for release later this year, arriving on Prime Video on Nov. 18. The new poster for the film can be seen below.
“The film follows struggling American siblings Alice (Kristen Bell) and Paul (Ben Platt), who reluctantly agree to attend the wedding of their estranged, wealthy half-sister (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) in the English countryside alongside their mother, Donna (Allison Janney). Over the course of the wedding week, the family’s many skeletons are wrenched from the closet, and the unlikely reunion gives everyone the motivation to move their own lives forward. A modern wedding comedy for anyone with a slightly dysfunctional family (everyone), or anyone who’s been forced to attend a wedding they tried to avoid (also everyone).”
Kristen Bell Steps Away From Animation
Kristen Bell has starred in countless films over the years. However, that actress has recently spent most of her time in animation. Of course, Bell starred in 2013’s smash hit, Frozen, as Anna, a role she would reprise in 2019 with the sequel. The sequels collectively grossed nearly $3 billion at the box office, dominating the animation categories at the time of their release.
Recently, the actress has appeared in a recurring role on The Simpsons and a guest star role in HouseBroken. Additionally, Bell had roles in the children’s shows Do, Re & Mi and The Tiny Chef Show. In 2020, the actress began her major role as Abby/Molly Tillerman in Central Park, the animated comedy for Apple TV+.
Fans are eager to see Bell in another comedic live-action role following her last movie, Queenpins, in 2021. The People We Hate At The Wedding arrives on Nov. 18 on Prime Video.
