The official trailer for The Franchise, a new comedy about the making of a blockbuster superhero movie, is here – and we're ready for the absolute absurdity.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, chaos ensues. We see everything from poor VFX to the director being accused of sexism (though he's always "wanted to do a feminism") to an on-set brawl brewing on the day the studio is supposed to come visit.
"Is this, by any chance, Taika Waititi's biography during the filming of Thor: Love and Thunder?" one of the top comments hilariously reads.
Sam Mendes directs for the pilot episode, which was written by Brown. Production on the very first episode was completed before July 2023, but the SAG-AFTRA strike shut the rest of the season's production down. The show resumed filming on February 26th and wrapped after three months.
The Franchise premieres October 6 on Max. For more, check out our list of the best new TV shows coming your way in 2024 and beyond.
