Tiffany Haddish has a new home at one of Hollywood’s biggest talent agencies. The Emmy and Grammy-winning comedian and actress has signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for representation.
She was previously repped by UTA and continues to be managed by Hudson Entertainment, with Independent Public Relations handling her PR duties.
The signing comes at a busy moment in Haddish’s career. She is currently on the road with stand-up dates and building out new material for audiences across the country.
On the film side, the long-awaited Girls Trip 2 is finally gaining momentum. Haddish has confirmed the sequel is moving again, with filming expected to begin by the end of summer 2026 and part of the story set in Africa.
She has also spoken about wanting powerhouse talents like Meryl Streep and Viola Davis to join the project, underscoring how big she and the team are dreaming for this next chapter.
CAA’s move to sign Haddish also fits into a broader pattern of the agency strengthening its roster of culture-shaping talent. Recently, music icon Ms. Lauryn Hill signed with CAA for representation, further signaling the agency’s push to align with artists who have deep impact across music and film.
Haddish has been expanding her work as an author and producer, including her story-and-essay collection I Curse You With Joy (Diversion Books/Dreamscape) and ongoing development under her production banner.
With CAA now in her corner, she appears well-positioned to scale all of these lanes at once.
Takeaways:
Tiffany Haddish moving to CAA feels less like a routine switch and more like a strategic reset at a key point in her career.
CAA gives her access to a broad ecosystem (film packaging, global touring, brand deals, and crossovers into music and publishing). For Haddish, who is juggling a major comedy sequel, new film projects, live tours, and literary work, that kind of full-service alignment can be a game-changer.
The timing is especially interesting as Girls Trip 2 inches closer to production and the industry continues to reward multi-hyphenates who can act, write, produce, and tour.
Haddish already has an Emmy and a Grammy; with CAA backing her, the ceiling on what comes next, in both prestige projects and commercial hits, just got higher.
What kind of roles or projects would you most like to see Tiffany Haddish pursue under this new CAA deal? Could Girls Trip 2’s African setting open more Hollywood doors for African locations, crews, and stories?
