Will Packer Productions Teams With Writer Felicia Pride For Track & Field Romantic Drama ‘Like It’s the Last’

Deadline is reporting that Will Packer and James Lopez are developing Like It’s the Last, a romantic drama set in the world of collegiate track & field, from Grey’s Anatomy and Queen Sugar writer Felicia Pride. Packer and Lopez will produce the project via the Will Packer Productions banner.

Johanna Byer of WPP and Pride will serve as executive producers on Like It’s the Last.

This marks the second collaboration between Packer, Lopez, and Pride as the trio has previously teamed on Deeper, an erotic romance film, which is set up at Universal.

Pride most recently co-wrote the MACRO drama, Really Love, which premiered at last year’s SXSW festival. In addition to her television credits, Pride made her directorial debut with the short film “Tender,” which premiered at Outfest Fusion in 2020 and was selected for the BlackStar and American Black Film Festivals. Pride also wrote the project, which follows two women who share an intimate morning after an unexpected one night stand.
