The movie’s cast will include Melissa McCarthy, Jack McBrayer, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, James Marsden, Christian Slater, Adrian Martinez, Max Greenfield, Sarah Cooper, Bobby Moynihan and Thomas Lennon.
“Michigan, 1963. Kellogg’s and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast forever,” Netflix said in a press release. “A tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen, Unfrosted stars writer/director Jerry Seinfeld.”
