‘Set It Up’ Director Claire Scanlon Is Bringing Back the Rom-Com

Allison Takeda
Jun 15, 2018

Netflix’s Set It Up is about to be your new favorite rom-com. Directed by Claire Scanlon and starring Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Lucy Liu, and Taye Diggs, it’s the perfect movie to watch on a cozy night in with either your significant other or your BFFs. Scanlon and screenwriter Katie Silberman are fans of the genre themselves, and they made it Set It Up in the tradition of other great rom-coms of decades past. We chatted with Scanlon about her personal favorite date-night movies, her directing style, and what it was like to make the film while eight months pregnant (!) with her second child.

Brit + Co: We love a good rom-com, and it seems like Hollywood just doesn’t make that many of them anymore.

Claire Scanlon: Yeah, what’s up with that?!

B+C: What is up with that?

CS: I just think that there’s been a vacuum in that area. There’s been a vacuum in a lot of areas. Like, where’s the movie that was made for me as the audience? There’s a lot of comic book movies out there, and there’s a lot of really gross-out comedies, but where’s just a grounded, well-told story? As much as I love those gut-wrenching dramas — and I do love them and I watch them — when I’ve been watching hard news, I just want a little escapism. And that’s harder to come by.

B+C: On the subject of rom-coms, do you have any personal favorites? Or did you have any in mind as you were directing Set It Up?

CS: I did. You know, I really love the comedies from the ’30s and ’40s. So, specifically, It Happened One Night, Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday. The pinnacle would be The Philadelphia Story, but I’m almost embarrassed to even put that in the same sentence, because nobody will ever make a movie better than that — it’s so perfect. But those are all films that I asked Zoey and Glen to watch before working on the film.

B+C: What drew you to this script?

CS: Intelligent, grounded characters in real-life situations. That drew me in. And then the bonus was that there were a million jokes that made me laugh. So many. One of my favorite jokes ended up on the cutting room floor, which is sad, but there were just so many good, good moments. The original cut of the film was two-and-a-half hours, and I’m a firm believer that comedies should only be 90 minutes. I think we made it to an hour and 40 minutes. So, victory in my mind.

B+C: How did you prepare before you got on set?

CS: The month before, I worked heavily with the DP. I’d say that relationship is priceless, because if you have a good relationship with your director of photography, you really are a united front on set, which is very necessary. And the more prepared you are with what your shots are and where you’re shooting and how you want to shoot each scene, the more you allow the actors the freedom to do other things, to improv, to do fun runs, just to get looser. And I think that’s also a really, really important part of the process. Not because I think improv is always going to be better than the script — more often than not, I find that the script is the best version of everything. I worked on The Office, and everyone thinks that show is improv, but rarely did we ever use improv on The Office. It was always scripted because it was really beautifully written. But what fun runs do is they allow everyone to loosen up a little and just get into a very joyful, playful spirit, and then you can go back to the script version and get an even looser take, which is so important when you’re doing a comedy. You can’t be funny when you’re afraid.

B+C: What was your relationship with Zoey and Glen?

CS: Glen came on a long time ago. This was originally an MGM film, and he came on when it was with MGM, and he stuck by our sides throughout the whole process. He would do chemistry reads with everybody we asked him to — just such a team player. And Zoey wanted this gig. She worked her butt off. She and I are very similar in that we’re both insanely prepared people. I just like to be prepared because then you can throw it all to the wind. You have a plan, and then you’re more willing to adjust your plan for any given circumstance because you feel prepared. So she and I talked a lot about Harper’s backstory. And I think that’s important, just to make everyone feel like they’re fully realized, fleshed-out characters.

The character I relate to the most is the Kirsten [Lucy Liu] character, given that I too prioritized work over family initially for a really long time. By the skin of my teeth, I have two kids, but I was very pregnant on the set of Set It Up. We finished the film on July 1 and I had my son on July 29. Talk about pushing it.

B+C: What was that like?

CS: I found both of my pregnancies not hard at all. I was running around, because who wants to sit on the couch eating bonbons? You forget you’re pregnant when you’re working really hard, and I really like work. I worked with my first child — I remember doing Last Man on Earth and doing my director’s cut in the hospital when I was getting induced. Will Forte was like, “You know you can let go of your director’s cut now.” I was like, “I’m just sitting around here, man. I’m bored!” Also, being pregnant, it just made everyone very kind. It kind of brought a family element to the set.

B+C: You mentioned The Office and Last Man on Earth, and you’ve also done some work on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Mindy Project, among others. What are the differences and challenges in directing a feature vs. directing an episode of a TV show? Do you prefer one over the other?

CS: I found the experiences very similar. One thing about television is that in order to get asked back to do a second episode of any given series, you have to make your days, you have to finish in a timely fashion. If you go over time or over budget too much, they’re not going to ask you back, even if they like the end product. So that’s always in the back of your mind when you’re directing a television show, and it forces you to be very efficient, very economical, very decisive. And I think I brought all of those skills to the feature. It’s obviously a different type of storytelling, but the way I approached production was with the same kind of economy. And the difference was, I got so much more time in post.

B+C: What do you like about directing comedy, specifically?

CS: Comedy’s hard — if it’s not funny, something’s falling flat, you have to fix it. And you can’t fix it in post. You have to fix it right there. I love that pressure.

B+C: What advice would you give to aspiring directors?

CS: I would say, don’t be an assistant. Go and shoot something. Do it poorly, mess it up, edit it yourself, see where you screwed up, and go back and do the same thing again. Take the same story, take the same sketch, do it again and again until you start to actually like your work. And now you’ve got something. There’s nothing better than failing to learn something. Think about a time when you messed something up — you probably never messed it up again. The best thing to do is fail. And fail and fail and fail and fail, until you’re like, “Oh, this isn’t half bad.” And then fail some more.

And don’t try to appease the masses. Tell your own story. You’re your only self. You have your story. Don’t water it down, don’t go for the common denominator — it doesn’t work. What makes you special is your individual voice, and the moment you start diluting that is the moment you give up.

And Zendaya also showed up to the 2025 Golden Globes rocking a new ring on THAT finger. These two keep their relationship pretty private, so here's the latest news on it.

In July 2017, a source seemingly confirmed what many fans had been wondering for months: that Tom Holland and Zendaya had been dating. Considering the two other sets of Spider-Man leads (Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield) both dated, it felt like this was one relationship that was bound to happen.

"They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man," the insider tells People. "They've been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they've gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another."

"They're both really ambitious and they challenge each other — but, most importantly, they make each other crack up," says another insider. "They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together."

Tom Holland and Zendaya actually took to Twitter (now X) to tackle the rumors. "Wait wait...my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven't been on a vacation in years!" Zendaya says, to which Tomreplies, "Does the press tour count[?]"

November 17, 2021 — Tom Holland And Zendaya Open Up About Their Relationship

In an interview with GQ, Tom Holland opened up about his relationship with Zendaya and how their relationship to fame has impacted everything. "One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” he says of their July 2 kiss. “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway...We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.”

“It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive,” Zendaya agrees. “I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other."

“Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Tom later told The Hollywood Reporter. "We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”

The London premiere of Dune 2 was very eventful.

"I'm more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell but he's great at just talking to people and getting to know people," she continues. "He's just naturally very good at that. Or as for me, I've definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He's got that natural gift."

Ahead of Zendaya's spring movie Challengers (in which she plays a tennis pro-turned-coach opposite Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor), she watched the BNP Paribas Open Men's Final at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Alongside Tom Holland and her assistant Darnell Appling, who she frequently calls her brother, Zendaya got comfy in a cream-colored tennis skirt, tank top, and zip-up hoodie ensemble. Spring really is here!! My favorite part of the afternoon is when Tom Holland and Zendaya sang along with Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."

April 9, 2024 — Zendaya Raves About Tom Holland

In her Vogue cover story for May 2024, Zendaya talks a lot about how fame has affected both her life and Tom Holland's. “His [career] changed overnight. One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man,” she says. “I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully.”

That star power was evident in 2022, when Tom Holland and Zendaya spent the afternoon at the Louvre in Paris...and almost broke the internet. “You just kind of get used to the fact that, 'Oh, I’m also one of these art pieces you’re going to take a picture of. I just gotta be totally cool with it and just live my life,'" Zendaya continues. (She also says that when the museum let them walk around after-hours, "it was like Night at the Museum.”)

This spring, Zendaya can't wait to see Tom Holland in his London production of Romeo & Juliet: "[I] could not be more proud. I’m going to try to see as many shows as I possibly can.”

April 10, 2024 — Challengers Premieres In London

Tom Holland showed up for the London premiere of Challengers, and got to support Zendaya in the sweetest way. In this video captured at the premiere, you can see Tom and Z share a hug and a kiss on the cheek during the evening. Even the smallest gesture can mean a lot during a busy night, and I love how in sync Tom Holland and Zendaya are!

The latest viral clip about Tom Holland and Zendaya also has to do with Challengers. During another Challengers press tour stop, Zendaya's overjoyed to be presented with a bouquet of gardenias. “These are my favorite flowers!” she exclaims. When asked if Tom Holland buys her flowers, she points at the camera and jokes, “I hope he's watching!”

While not every girlfriend necessarily wants a bouquet, every couple definitely has to figure out each other's love languages so they can get to know each other better — and apparently A-listers are the exact same!

August 31, 2024 — Zendaya And Tom Holland Match On A Day Date

October 15, 2024 — Tom Holland Launches A New Company With Unexpected Help From Zendaya

After going sober in 2022, Tom Holland announced on October 15 he was launching a non-alcoholic drink company called Bero. “When I got sober, I started exploring the world of non-alcoholic beers and realized there was space for me to fit in,” Tom says in an interview with Forbes. “My first year sober was really difficult, and had I had Bero, I think it would have been easier.”

“Zendaya hates beer, like, absolutely hates beer," he continues. And when she helped with the taste testing, a joke helped guide the overall brand. "She does not drink beer at all, and the first round of testing she was like, ‘Wow, these are really tasty’, and I was like, ‘Well, that's probably not a good sign.'"

And at the launch event for Bero in New York City, Tom and Zendaya wore matching shades of burgundy! Z stunned in a floor-length leather dress while Tom paired a short sleeve sweater with black trousers.

October 15, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Why She'd Never Take A Dance Class With Tom Holland

While speaking to Teen Vogue for her partnership with On, Zendaya reveals she'd probably avoid dance classes with Tom Holland because "he's too good, it would piss me off," she jokes. "I would want to take someone who could be equally as bad as me."

"Kayaking, I would choose Tom because I think that, if I can remember correctly, with the kayak, you have to be in sync with the person," she continues. "And I think it would be hilarious because we are both very controlling and we both want to be in charge. So it would be funny to watch us be like, no, we're going to go this way. No, we're going to go that way. And I think it would be a good story after the fact."

October 31, 2024 — Tom Holland Reveals Googling Zendaya Eases His Anxiety

While appearing on an episode of Samah Dada’s On the Menu podcast, Tom Holland spoke about how protective he gets over Zendaya, which, if you ask me, is pretty clear after that viral video of her getting swarmed by paparazzi — and him physically getting in the middle.

“I’m not on socials, and I delete [the apps] when I’m not using [them],” he tells Samah. “So sometimes I — it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing...I just give it a little Google, look [through] the news, and I’m like, ‘She’s good. We’re fine.'"

November 13, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Working With Tom Holland Is "Like Second Nature"

In Vanity Fair's new Hollywood 2025 issue, Zendaya opened up on what it's like to work with her partner, and reveals "it’s actually strangely comfortable."

"It’s like second nature, if anything," she says. "You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him. He’s so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That’s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read."

I'm sure that was one heck of a chemistry read!

November 24, 2024 — Tom Holland & Zendaya Have A Cozy Date Night

Tom and Zendaya went out for a pint to wrap up the weekend, heading to Foxhole to sample Bero "in the wild," according to Tom himself (via Instagram stories). And the actor ended up sharing a super cute photo of Zendaya in a red top with a gold necklace, a menu, and her cell phone covered in a grippy phone mount that a lot of TikTokers use to attach their phones to the wall. Does this mean there's a backlog of Zendaya TikToks?!

One People sourcealso reports the couple was "very relaxed and very chatty together" at Trident Booksellers & Cafe in Boston during a Friday morning breakfast. Sweet!

December 2, 2024 — Tom Holland & Zendaya Are Reportedly Ready To Settle Down

We all know that Tom and Zendaya are homebodies, and it appears they're only getting cozier the farther they get into their relationship — especially as friends like Robert Pattinson start their own families! “As Tom and Zendaya move closer to having a wedding next year, basically living like a husband and wife already, and continuing to book multiple film projects together, Rob is cheering them on,” a source tells Life & Style. "If things keep going in this direction, Rob is going to figure into their wedding as a best man or groomsman and he absolutely wants the new, little families they are starting to be close going forward."

“For Tom’s part, he’s seen up close how settling down, getting serious and having kids has changed Rob,” they continue. “Tom wants that life for himself and Zendaya, sooner rather than later.”

If Tom and Zendaya really are planning on getting married, and Robert Pattinson ends up in the wedding, I'll cry! And I just know Zendaya's wedding dress is going to be THE look of the decade.

Lauren Graham's New "Unhinged" TV Character Is Giving Major Lorelai Gilmore Vibes

Gilmore Girlsgave us a glimpse into what it looks like to live with one of Lauren Graham's iconic characters, and her new TV show gives us a look at what it's like to work with one — and TBH, her new character is giving MAJOR Lorelai Gilmore vibes. The Z-Suite, which follows an industry battle between an ad CEO and the social media team who replaces her, is one 2025 TV show TV show you definitely don't want to miss. Not only is the cast stacked, but it promises to be laugh-out-loud funny.

Here's what to expect from Lauren Graham's new TV show The Z-Suite.

'The Z-Suite' is a hilarious look at Gen Z vs. Gen X.

In the new The Z-Suite trailer, we see Lauren Graham's Monica take matters into her own hands when she's fired from an ad agency (and replaced with a slew of Gen Z social media mavens). Determined to prove that she has what it takes to stay in the game, Monica unleashes a brand new campaign — and she's not going down without a fight. "Let the best generation win."

We get a glimpse at the tension between social media vs. traditional work that we're all feeling these days, and while this first look highlights the differences between the two, it also just reminds me that we're all in it together. Only time will tell us whether these two teams will be able to put their heads together.

And Lauren Graham's new character will remind you of her iconic 'Gilmore Girls' one.

I am already loving The Z-Suite, because not only does it feature the kind of workplace chaos that feels right at home in 2025, but Monica also totally reminds me of Lorelai Gilmore. Creating a brand new advertising campaign and fighting her way back to the top? Hello, that has Lor written all over it! (Especially having cheese puffs on hand).

“When I first read the script for The Z-Suite, I responded to Katie O’Brien’s fresh and funny take on the workplace,” Lauren Graham told Deadline. “The character of Monica is smart, strong, and appealingly a bit unhinged. I’m excited to work with the team at Tubi as they ramp up their Originals slate and continue their ascent in the streaming space.”

The new TV show premieres on Tubi February 6, 2025 and stars Lauren Graham, Spencer Stevenson, Madison Shamoun, Nico Santos, Anna Bezahler, and Evan Marsh.

Check out Lauren Graham's return to TV in The Z-Suite when it premieres on Tubi February 6, and don't forget to bookmark all the other amazing February TV shows coming soon!

Your Weekly Horoscope: 5 Zodiac Signs Will Have An Amazing Week

Aquarius season is officially here, in all its air sign glory — and it's about to shake up your weekly horoscope! From January 19-26, you can expect a lot going on in the world around you (hello, new president?!), but there's also a lot going on in your personal life. Whether you're tapping into your inner courage, or you're just trying to take a breather this week, the stars have plenty to say about it. So, buckle up because his is what your zodiac sign can expect in your weekly horoscope!

Here's what's in store for your weekly horoscope for January 19-26, 2025!

What's happening astrologically during January 19-26, 2025?

Chevanon Photography

Aquarius season officially begins on January 19 as the Sun moves into this electric air sign, prompting us to view life from a fresh and unique perspective. Things will start moving faster; our mental abilities will sharpen, and we’ll strive to accomplish more. However, with Mars still retrograde, it’s wise to pause before impulsively taking action, even if we’re tempted to dive in. Once your goals are clear, don’t hold back.

The Aquarius archetype is humanitarian and community-focused. In a world facing many challenges and tragedies, this visionary energy can inspire us to challenge the status quo and solve problems innovatively. On a personal level, this month-long period encourages us to embrace our authenticity and live by our ideals and goals, no matter how unconventional they may seem to others.

As noted last week, the Sun aligns with Pluto at the same degree on January 21 and 22, marking an energy we’ve felt for weeks. Expect world events to remain volatile, intense, and even destructive. The Sun-Pluto interplay will persist as Pluto journeys through Aquarius over the next 20 years, sometimes with dramatic effects. Rather than getting caught up in external drama, adapt to this energy, channel its power for personal growth, and let the world’s events unfold as they will. From the ashes of destruction, a new world will emerge — one we can’t yet imagine.

Other planetary movements encourage new beginnings and help overcome inertia. Tap into the energy for fun, excitement, and bold changes. Mars forms a sextile with Uranus, inspiring courageous actions that lead to freedom. If you feel stuck or bored with daily life, use this momentum to make bold moves. Stay alert, flexible, and ready for quick changes.

Mercury, the planet of intellect and communication, is in a harmonious phase. Use this time to express yourself clearly and initiate meaningful conversations, even challenging ones. Experiment with new ways to convey your feelings. This is an excellent week to speak your truth and strive for your goals.
