‘Addicted To Fresno’ features ‘Arrested Development’ star Judy Greer and Natasha Lyonne from ‘Orange is the New Black’ as sisters who get in a spot of hot water after one of them accidentally kills someone.

Lyonne will play a lesbian, as she did in the queer classic ‘But I’m A Cheerleader’ alongside Clea DuVall, Cathy Moriarty and RuPaul. It seems Lyonne’s character has a love interest in the form of ‘Parks and Recreation’ alum Aubrey Plaza.

‘Addicted to Fresno’ has a strong supporting cast, including ‘Saturday Night Live’ ex-players Fred Armisen and Molly Shannon and ‘Fargo’s’ Allison Tolman.

Speaking with SameSame, director Babbit said she was happy ‘Cheerleader’ had found it’s place in queer canon, even hinting at a possible stage production of the show.

“They did a musical version of ‘But I’m A Cheerleader’ in London with the ‘Kinky Boots’ director. If they find investors I know they want t mount it as a musical on Broadway!”
