In the dark comedy, Margaret stars as Honey O’Donahue, a small-town private investigator who finds herself entangled in a web of strange deaths. 

Meanwhile, Aubrey stars as a police officer working with O’Donahue (Margaret).

This is the first time fans will see Aubrey back to work on the big screen, months after her husband Jeff Baena’s shock suicide.

In March, it was revealed that Aubrey had secretly split from Jeff just four months before his shock suicide at 47.

An LA County Medical Examiner’s autopsy report obtained by DailyMail.com revealed that the filmmaker and actress had separated back in September of last year, and she had been living in New York at the time his body was discovered on January 3. 

The report detailed how the Life After Beth director had been ‘experiencing marital difficulties’ in his final months and how he had been in therapy.

An investigator noted in the documents that Aubrey, whose name was redacted in the final report, said she had spoken with Jeff the night before his death.

The report also tragically revealed that Aubrey had been concerned for her estranged husband’s wellbeing.

‘In October 2024, Baena made concerning remarks to [Plaza] which prompted her to call a friend to perform a welfare check on her husband.’

‘Baena had been attending therapy since that event,’ the documents stated.

The medical examiner’s report also determined that Jeff did not have drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his death.

It stated that Aubrey ‘knew her husband to be alive’ as of January 3 because he had sent her a text message that morning.

The report indicated that a dog walker discovered Jeff’s body after hearing loud music emanating from his house, which she said was ‘unusual.’

Margaret and Aubrey appeared to be in good spirits as they laughed and chatted with each other during the event 

The duo were also joined by their co-star Charlie Day, film editor Tricia Cooke, and director Ethan Coen (L-R Aubrey, Tricia, Ethan, Margaret, and Charlie)

Ethan cut a laid-back figure at the event, wearing an orange striped shirt and black jeans as he smiled for the cameras alongside the pair 

After she called the writer and director and didn’t get an answer, she entered the home and discovered his body.

In a statement obtained by DailyMail.com, a representative for the Plaza said: ‘This is an unimaginable tragedy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.’

Jeff, who graduated with a film degree from New York University, got a strong start and on-the-ground education with major filmmakers when he worked as a production ᴀssistant for Robert Zemeckis and as an ᴀssistant editor for David O. Russell.

His big break came when he co-wrote Russell’s cult classic existential comedy I Heart Huckabees (2004).

A decade later, he graduated to directing with his debut, the 2014 romantic horror–comedy Life After Beth, which Aubrey starred in.

They reunited for 2016’s Joshy and 2017’s The Little Hours, which Aubrey also produced.

Jeff also regularly collaborated with the actress Alison Brie, who appeared in The Little Hours and starred in and co-wrote his final two films, the psychological drama Horse Girl (2020) and the dark comedy thriller Spin Me Round (2022).

Aubrey and Jeff began dating in 2011, and in 2018, she told Page Six that the fact that they were mutually ‘obsessed’ with movies helped the two bond and led to their subsequent creative and romantic partnerships. 

She confirmed in 2021 that they had quietly tied the knot a year earlier while promoting Spin Me Round, in which she had a supporting role, when she referred to Jeff on Instagram as her ‘darling husband.’

Aubrey has been making tentative steps to get back into the world after Jeff’s devastating death.

The actress made her first public appearance since Jeff’s death last month when she introduced musical guests Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard on Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special.

She made a subtle but moving tribute to her late husband by wearing a tie-dye shirt, a reference to one of his pᴀssions and their nuptials.
