- As reported by World of Reel, Plaza is set to star in Liarmouth, Waters' adaptation of his own 2022 novel, with filming scheduled to commence later this year in Baltimore, Maryland.
- Described as a 'hilariously filthy tale of sex, crime, and family dysfunction', Liarmouth follows the story of Marsha Sprinkle, a scammer and compulsive liar who deceives her loved ones. The film was initially announced in 2022 but faced delays.
- Waters' filmmaking hiatus since 2004's A Dirty Shame will come to an end with Liarmouth, as Plaza brings the character of Marsha Sprinkle to life in this anticipated 'Feel-Bad Romance' project.
