The event has been gaining momentum over the last few years with appearances from the cast of Grey’s Anatomy and Mark Duplass last year.
“We are thrilled to have the multi-talented Amy Schumer kick off our 11th year with a very special performance for SeriesFest,” said Randi Kleiner, SeriesFest CEO and co-founder. “Amy is an innovator and her range of talent is exemplified by her award-winning experience as a film and television series writer, director, producer and star. We can’t wait to see what she brings to SeriesFest.”
Kinda Pregnant, which also stars Will Forte and Jillian Bell, launches on the streamer on February 5. Schumer plays Lainy, a woman who gets so jealous of her best friend’s pregnancy that she starts to wear a fake baby bump of her own, and accidentally meets the man of her dreams. She also wrote the film with Julie Paiva.
Elsewhere, she launched her last stand-up special Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact in 2023 on Netflix. It was nominated for a Golden Globe.
SeriesFest runs from April 29 – May 4.
