The Better Woman follows the story of a young executive whose fiance leaves her for a much older woman. The executive then searches out the older woman to find out about what went wrong in the relationship. No actors have been tapped to star in the forthcoming rom-com.

After directing Bridesmaids, which grossed over USD 288 million worldwide, Feig was considered to helm a third Bridget Jones movie but he exited the project in October.
