While there’s still uncertainty over whether a sequel to Bridesmaids will ever happen (Universal wants one, Kristen Wiig doesn’t, and Melissa McCarthy won’t do it without Wiig), the director of the 2011 hit, Paul Feig, is reuniting with Universal for the comedy project The Better Woman, according to Variety.

Amy Sherman (Gilmore Girls) is writing the script, which is about a successful young executive who gets dumped by her boyfriend for an older woman. She becomes friends with the older lady to find out why her boyfriend left her, and reinvents herself along the way. Reese Witherspoon was previously circling the project, but the actress is no longer involved.

Paul Feig is still loosely circling the planned Bridesmaids, but it is said he is “hesitant to commit” to the sequel since writers Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo are working on other projects and unless the studio can woo them, seem determined not to return.
