Hilary Duff's involvement
Hilary Duff will be playing Sophie, a mother who tells her son the story of how she met his father.
The plot according to Deadline reads, 'The story starts in 2021 where Sophie and her close-knit group of friends are in the midst of figuring out who they are, what they want out of life, and how to fall in love in the age of dating apps and limitless options.'
