Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott’s Ultimate Indie Sequel

Aubrey Plaza is expecting her first child with Christopher Abbott, and after the tragic loss of Jeff Baena, this is the plot twist the indie world actually needed. It’s the ultimate merger of deadpan cool and brooding intensity—basically a casting call for the most important toddler at the next film festival. I’m already imagining the gender reveal being a ten-minute silent short film shot in grainy 16mm. Most people see a baby; I see a child who will be born with a five-picture deal and a permanent scowl that critics will call "brave." It’s a perfect example of narrative recovery and aesthetic purity.
