Take two excellent women, throw in a dog, high stakes, comedy and a quiz show, and you get Quiz Lady.
Mark your calendars for a movie night… at home, on your sofa, with all the popcorn you can microwave. Quiz Lady, a comedy starring Awkwafina and Sandra Oh that sounds very much up our street, is coming to your screens.
The film is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival tomorrow, but the release date in the UK has now been revealed, too. We’ll be getting Quiz Lady on Disney+ this November.
That’s a while to wait, we realise, but we can spend the next few weeks looking forward to watching it. We’ve got all the details below so you know what you’re buzzing about.
Watch the trailer for Quiz Lady:
What is Quiz Lady about?
Quiz Lady follows a pair of sisters: one tightly wound and super smart (that’s Anne) and the other a bit of a mess (Jenny). Their mum goes missing from her care home, and while the sisters are dealing with that, Anne’s dog gets kidnapped. The kidnapper lets Anne know the reason for this: their mum has $80,000 in gambling debts, and if she wants her dog back, she’ll need to provide this in cash.
How are they going to do that? Simple: train Anne up to be a gameshow champion, so she can go on and win the grand prize on her favourite show, Can’t Stop The Quiz. They’ll need to journey cross-country to film the show, training up and getting camera-ready along the way, so there’ll be plenty of laughs and drama in a fresh take on the classic road trip comedy.

What are people saying about Quiz Lady?
She added: “There is something about the characters that we play that I think certain people, even in the development process, were like, ‘Oh, is that really what it’s gonna be?’ Awkwafina says. “It was kind of against type, so to speak.”
When and where can we watch Quiz Lady?
Quiz Lady will premiere on 3 November 2023, exclusively on Disney+ in the UK.
