Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Bros is coming to Peacock. The first LGBT+ rom-com ever to be released by a major studio is heading to the streamer after its theatrical release.
Co-written by Billy Eichner and Nicholas Stoller, and directed by Stoller, the movie centers around two gay men who may or may not be heading toward true love. Originally released in September, Bros featured a completely LGBT+ main cast including Luke Macfarlane (Killjoys), Ts Madison (The Ts Madison Experience), Monica Raymund (Chicago Fire), Guillermo Díaz (Scandal), Guy Branum (The Other Two) and Amanda Bearse (Married ...with Children).
"We've had many romantic comedies over the years that I've loved about straight characters -- men and women falling in love, falling out of love -- and I love those movies," Eichner said in an interview with the filmmakers via Zoom in September. "They made me laugh. They made me cry. I grew up with those movies, but we've never had one released on this scale about a gay couple and with this many LGBTQ+ characters and this many LGBTQ+ actors playing the roles, including the straight roles."
The synopsis reads: "From the ferocious comic mind of Billy Eichner (Billy on the Street, 2019's The Lion King, Difficult People, Impeachment: American Crime Story) and the hitmaking brilliance of filmmakers Nicholas Stoller (the Neighbors films, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Judd Apatow (The King of Staten Island, Trainwreck, The Big Sick), comes Bros, a smart, swoony and heartfelt comedy about how hard it is to find another tolerable human being to go through life with."
