Previously, we had reported that Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, Emma Myers and Brady Noon have been roped in to play a family in Netflix's Family Leave. The latest news is that Rita Morena has joined the film's cast. 

The upcoming family comedy centres around a four-member family, who are on the eve of the most important day of their lives, but things turn crazy when they wake up in each other's bodies. Garner and Helms will be playing the normal parents in the first half and then the body-swapped versions in the second.  Emma Myers and Brady Noon will be playing their children. 

Apart from Rita, Matthias Schweighofer, Bashir Salahuddin,  Ilia Isorelys Paulino, Fortune Feimster, Paul Scheer, Andrew Bachelor, Pete Holmes, Naomi Ekperigin, Dan Finnerty, Cyrus Arnold, and Vanessa Carrasco are also joining the cast. 

Family Leave will be directed by McG, who previously helmed action-comedies Charlie’s Angels. The screenplay is written by Adam Sztykiel, whose screenwriting work ranges from Black Adam to Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip. Sztykiel has penned the story based on another screenplay by Victoria Strouse; who, in turn, based her story on the New York Times bestselling children's book Bedtime for Mommy by author Amy Krouse Rosenthal.
