Twinless marks the second film role for Graham this year, who has recently wrapped filming on new festive movie The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
The film is based on the book of the same name by author Barbara Robinson and follows six misfit children who volunteer to star in their town's Christmas pageant.
Graham narrates, and later makes an important cameo appearance in the movie. The family comedy also stars Ant-Man's Judy Greer and Pete Holmes of Crashing fame.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will be released in US cinemas on November 15. Twinless is yet to confirm a release date.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Graham will also be returning to TV in a new series titled The Z-Suite, described as a multi-generational workplace comedy.
Details remain limited, but the Gilmore Girls star is set to star in the comedy. She is also one of its executive producers.
Gilmore Girls is available to stream now on Netflix.
