Sophia Bush Sets Road Trip Comedy at Roku Channel, Lauren Holly and Steve Guttenberg to Co-Star

December 10 2025

Article From Variety:

Sophia Bush is starring in and executive producing “Broad Trip,” a road trip comedy for The Roku Channel. Bush leads the film, which co-stars Lauren Holly and Steve Guttenberg, set to debut in May 2026.

Per the official logline, “When buttoned-up daughter Alice (Bush) plans a “bachelorette” road trip with her wild and impulsive mother, Jeanie (Holly), to talk her out of marrying a guy she just met (Guttenberg), they rediscover their unbreakable bond, confronting old wounds and old flames, while learning the lesson that sometimes life doesn’t follow a plan — and maybe that’s okay.”

“As a kid who grew up watching classic 90s comedies and yearns for more, the moment I read this script, I said yes,” Bush says. “Being able to play alongside Lauren and Steve made a hilarious story a dream come true. And doing something new with a streamer that’s both innovative and growing so quickly is thrilling to me as a producer, too. I can’t wait for audiences to take a BROAD TRIP with us!”

Morgan Pichinson of Roku Originals adds, “At Roku, our goal is to tell stories that reflect the humor, heart, and everyday moments our viewers connect with the most. Led by the amazing Sophia Bush and Lauren Holly, ‘Broad Trip’ captures that spirit perfectly with its hilarious and heartfelt take on family relationships.”

“Broad Trip” will debut in May 2026. Chelsea Davison writes and executive produces with Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe directing. Joel S. Rice and Michael Barbuto produce for Muse Entertainment. Motion Content, Jonas Prupas, Aren Prupas and Meghan Mathes Jacobs also executive produce. Lisa Soper is consulting producer.
