Back in the Spotlight: Meg Ryan's Acting Comeback
In 2023, Meg made her long-awaited return to acting in the film What Happens Later, starring alongside the talented David Duchovny. This wasn’t just any comeback—it was a project she poured her heart into. Meg not only acted in the film but also cowrote, directed, and executive produced it. The movie is based on Steven Dietz’s play Shooting Star, which tells the story of two former lovers who find themselves trapped together in an airport overnight.
The Golden Globe nominee opened up about her decision to return to acting. "Well, really it had to do with the fact that the script came to me during COVID, during lockdown," she explained in an interview with Parade in October 2023. "It struck my imagination probably because of that, because those two people were stuck together." Meg saw the project as a perfect opportunity to explore themes of connection and rediscovery.
When it came to casting David Duchovny, Meg knew he was the perfect fit for the role of Bill. "It was a chance for him to do something maybe a little different than he’s done before," she told the outlet. It’s clear that Meg values collaboration and creativity, and she wanted to bring the best out of her co-star.
When asked if she planned on taking another acting hiatus after What Happens Later, Meg admitted she wasn’t sure. "I really don’t know. I love this little movie, so right now, I just want to get it out there," she said. "Right now, it’s this feeling of … You know when you blow up a balloon and then you tie the end and you just sort of puff it up into the air; you give it a little tap and see where it goes? It’s kind of that feeling right now. It feels like we just finished it, so I don’t have an imagination yet for the next thing."

"You don’t wish it [on anyone]. It’s too hard and it’s too weird," she told Glamour in November 2023. "Jack is really talented. He’s more of a natural than I’ll ever be. That nepo stuff is so dismissive of his work ethic, his gifts, and how sensitive he is to the idea of his privilege." It’s clear that Meg is not only a supportive mom but also a fierce advocate for her son’s talent and hard work.
