Why it matters: Withers is doubling down on Hollywood momentum — fresh off two 2026 NAACP Image Award nominations and a slate including 'Him,' 'Reminders of Him,' and the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' reboot — by not only starring in but also executive producing the Amazon MGM rom-com. Pairing him with May, whose own profile has risen rapidly, gives Amazon MGM a high-profile young duo for a sports-set romantic comedy ahead of a New York fall shoot.
