Pete Davidson may not be returning to SNL, but he’s certainly keeping busy. This week, the trailer dropped for a new romantic comedy Meet Cute starring Davidson and Kaley Cuoco.
Alex Lehmann (Paddleton) will direct from a script by Noga Pnueli, and Akiva Goldsman will produce alongside his Weed Road partners Gregory Lessans and Rachel Reznick as well as Santosh Govindaraju and Dan Reardon of Convergent Media.
Cuoco is flying high off the success of the HBO Max series The Flight Attendant, which has been renewed for a second season. Cuoco and her production company Yes, Norman recently closed a new overall deal with Warner Bros. TV Group, where she’s currently developing a Doris Day project based on the singer’s official biography alongside power producer Greg Berlanti. Cuoco continues to voice Harley Quinn in DC’s animated series of the same name, and she’ll soon be seen alongside Woody Harrelson and Kevin Hart in Sony’s action-comedy The Man From Toronto.
Davidson departing Saturday Night Live this offseason given his fast-rising movie career, which includes James Gunn’s DC movie The Suicide Squad, Netflix’s Joey Ramone biopic, the upcoming STX movie American Sole as well as the slasher movie Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, for which A24 has high hopes. He recently impressed with his performance in Judd Apatow’s comedy The King of Staten Island, and I also appreciated his work in the Hulu movie Big Time Adolescence. Up next is a role among the young ensemble of Rupert Sanders’ Vietnam War movie The Things They Carried, which pairs him with Tom Hardy and Tye Sheridan.
Lehmann directed the Netflix buddy comedy Paddleton starring Ray Romano and Mark Duplass as well as the romantic drama Blue Jay starring Duplass and Sarah Paulson. Both of those films were driven by the chemistry between their stars, and if Lehmann can help Cuoco and Davidson establish similar chemistry then this high-concept movie could very well be a success.
Meet Cute hits Peacock on September 21st.
