“I’ve been eager to dive into something comedic with a team I admire, and this role offered a fresh challenge and was hilarious and engaging right from the start,” Hudson tells Tudum. “The chance to work with people I respect and to bring a unique female perspective to a male-driven world was incredibly appealing.”
