Glen Powell is set to take center stage in a new comedy from Judd Apatow.
Universal Pictures announced Monday that the name of the previously untitled feature is The Comeback Kid. Hitting theaters Feb. 5, 2027, the film features Powell as a country western star in free fall.
Cristin Milioti, Madelyn Cline, Stavros Halkias and Li Jin Hao round out the cast. Apatow helms the movie from a script he wrote with Powell.
Apatow produces for Apatow Productions through its long-standing overall deal with the studio, while Powell and Dan Cohen produce for Barnstorm via the first-look deal with Universal that was signed last year. Former Universal president of production Kevin Misher also produces for Misher Films.
Apatow’s previous feature credits as director include Netflix’s 2022 film The Bubble, along with such titles for Universal as The King of Staten Island, Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
More to come.
