The Replacement Wife

By Aaron Bushkowsky

After a dire medical prognosis, Jackie matches up her incompetent and “lost” professor husband Ben with Rachel, her super organized, now retired best friend, before heading off to Mexico for risky treatment. But, after six months of experimental drugs with another patient, Suzi, who defies expectations, Jackie returns only to find Ben a completely changed man – and not necessarily for the good. A comedy about friendships over time and how love changes.

Production History

The Replacement Wife premiered on January 23, 2026, produced by United Players of Vancouver in association with Solo Collective.
