Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain are officially reuniting on screen, more than a decade after The Help. The duo will headline Deck the Y’alls, a holiday comedy from Tracy Oliver, the writer behind Girls Trip.

Jessica plays Rachel Stein, a New York baker who falls for a younger Southern man and travels to Charleston, South Carolina, for Christmas with his family. That’s where she runs into Octavia’s character, Gladys Gibbes — a protective matriarch and celebrity chef who isn’t exactly thrilled by the new romance.
