After finding herself out of options, with little time to lose, Joy discovers a network of women who facilitate safe abortions for women in need-no questions asked. In the women’s rights drama, directed by Carol screenwriter Phyllis Nagy, they will star opposite previously announced cast members Elizabeth Banks, Sigourney Weaver and Kate Mara.īased on a script by Hayley Schore & Roshan Sethi that made The Black List, Call Jane is set during the summer of 1968, which sees protests rock the Democratic National Convention. Against this backdrop, we follow Joy Griffin (Banks), a housewife and mother who experiences a life-threatening pregnancy that no doctor will allow her to terminate. EXCLUSIVE: Chris Messina ( Birds of Prey), Cory Michael Smith ( First Man, Carol), Aida Turturro ( The Sopranos), Wunmi Mosaku ( Lovecraft Country) and newcomer Grace Edwards have boarded Call Jane, which is now in production in Connecticut.
