The trailer for Genie features a magical Melissa McCarthy helping a despondent Paapa Essiedu fix his life and win back his family.
Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy is getting magical this holiday season with Peacock's upcoming new film Genie. A new trailer sees her enter the life of the despondent Bernard Bottle, played by Emmy-nominated I May Destroy You star Paapa Essiedu. Down on his luck as his life unravels around him, he comes across a mysterious jewelry box that has held McCarthy's genie Flora for over 2,000 years.
The trailer opens with a snapshot of Bernard's life mid-collapse. After missing his daughter Eve's 12th birthday due to work, his wife Julie has had enough and is ready for a trial separation. To make matters worse, his tyrannical boss cans him soon after, leaving him with nothing but bitterness ahead of Christmas. That is until he unleashes Flora by accident and earns himself unlimited wishes.
Their newfound bond is exactly what both Bernard and Flora need after their respective woes. The crux of Genie, however, revolves around Bernard trying to win back his family. Flora does what she can to aid her new bestie, including sprucing up his apartment with new decor. Even with a powerful magical entity by his side, rekindling his relationship with his family is still a long shot.
'Genie' Brings Together a Strong Cast for the Holidays Close Beyond McCarthy and Essiedu, Genie boasts a massively talented supporting cast. Joining Mcintosh, Benton, and Cumming is comedian Marc Maron alongside Luis Guzmán, Tate Ellington, and LaChanze. Oscar-nominated Love Actually and Four Weddings and a Funeral writer Richard Curtis penned the script based on his 1991 teleplay Bernard and the Genie while Love Life creator Sam Boyd directs.
Genie releases on Peacock on November 22, just in time for Thanksgiving. Check out the trailer below.
