Netflix Rom-Com 'Holidate' Adds 'SNL' Cast Member Alex Moffat
It looks like it's the more the merrier for "Holidate." "Saturday Night Live" cast member Alex Moffat has joined the upcoming Netflix rom-com starring Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey, Deadline reports. The cast also includes Jessica Capshaw, Frances Fisher, and Kristin Chenoweth.
"Holidate" focuses on Sloane (Roberts) and Jackson (Bracey), two holiday-hating people who dislike the judgment they get from their families when they show up without a date. They decide to be each other's plus-ones for all of the holidays throughout the year. Moffat's character hasn't yet been revealed, but after his "guy who just bought a boat" skits on "SNL," we're picturing him as an unwanted suitor for Sloane.
The comedian first appeared on "SNL" in 2016 and became a cast member in 2018. In addition to being the "guy who just bought a boat," he has memorably impersonated numerous celebrities and public figures. Some of them include Billy Bush, Eric Trump, and Mark Zuckerberg. He also recently had a role in another Netflix rom-com, "Someone Great."
"Holidate" was written by Tiffany Paulsen, and McG is producing. Steven Bello is the executive producer. So far, a release date has not been announced.
