Peacock announced today the feature film MEET CUTE from Weed Road Pictures will premiere on Wednesday, September 21 as Peacock’s newest Original film.
MEET CUTE follows the story of Sheila (Cuoco) and Gary (Davidson). When they meet, it’s love at first sight – until we realize their magical date wasn’t fate at all. Sheila’s got a time machine, and they’ve been falling in love over and over again.
“If I had a time machine right now I’d be torn. Do I skip ahead to our release date or do I go back and relive the joy it was making this film? Lucky for me it’s a decision I don’t get to make,” said director Alex Lehmann. “I’m excited for audiences to get swept away on this wild romantic ride exclusively on Peacock.”
“We are thrilled to add Meet Cute to our slate of Peacock original movies this Fall,” said Val Boreland, Executive Vice President, Content Acquisition, NBCUniversal Entertainment, Television and Streaming. “It’s the perfect film to join Peacock’s catalogue as the service continues to expand with a range of films for every fan and occasion.”
