Brother Nature

If you’re a fan of Saturday Night Live (and some other NBC shows), look no further than this new Lorne Michaels-produced comedy. Directing duo Matt Villines and Osmany Rodriguez‘s feature debut, Brother Nature, follows a by-the-books politician named Roger (Taran Killam) and his dream girl (Gillian Jacobs) as decide they deserve a break. With plans to propose, they take a retreat at a cabin to meet his soon-to-be-brother-in-law (Bobby Moynihan) and family, who makes the trip less of a time to relax and more of a disaster. As his plans go awry, Roger tries to assimilate into a family that proves much more trying than he thought.

Villines and Rodriguez have both worked on the show The Last Man on Earth, along with making a slew of video shorts before this debut, which also stars Bill PullamRitz WilsonRachael Harris, and Kenan Thompson. See the trailer below, along with a poster.

Roger (Taran Killam), a straight-laced politician has big plans to propose to his dream girl (Gillian Jacobs) at her family’s lake house. But everything goes awry when he meets his potential brother-in-law Todd (Bobby Moynihan): a full-time camp counselor with a heart of gold and a wild sense of fun, pining to be Roger’s best friend, and ultimately catapulting him into a series of unfortunate events. As Roger tries to take a stand amidst outrageous fishing excursions, propulsive water jetpacks and American history-themed musicals, he realizes that being a part of a new family may be more difficult than he’d thought. From Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of Saturday Night Live, comes a hilarious comedy co-starring Rita Wilson, Bill Pullman, Ellen Bloodworth, Sarah Burns, Giancarlo Esposito, Rachael Harris, Kumail Nanjiani, Kenan Thompson and David Wain.
