Tyler Falbo, writer, director and producer known for shaping the sketch group Almost Friday’s viral comedy videos, is directing an R-rated comedy film for Paramount.

Titled “Boys for Life,” the film will be released in theaters on April 9, 2027. While few plot details are available, Variety hear it’s an ensemble comedy about a group of friends getting together, with a different twist.

“Boys for Life” is currently in production. Paramount acquired the project in a competitive situation that also included A24 and Warner Bros. Variety hey. Falbo serves as director and producer and co-wrote the script with Max Barrett. Galen Core also serves as producer.

As its de facto showrunner, Falbo is credited with driving the dark, genre-bending humor of “Almost Friday TV,” the comedy arm of the Los Angeles-based digital media company that launched Will Angus, Eilise Patton and other rising talents to the comedy scene. Falbo will also direct “Last Night Was a Movie,” his television project starring members of the Almost Friday cast that is in development at FX.

Co-writer Barrett is the creator of Friday Beers and co-founder of Almost Friday Media, who, in 2020, formed the company’s original sketch comedy team of Liam Cullagh, Angus, Chet Collins and Billy Langdon.

The project falls under Paramount’s newly announced Primal banner, which will focus on “smartly budgeted” films from “next-generation storytellers” spanning comedy, horror, action and grounded science fiction. The label recently acquired the US rights to adapt the original screenplay of “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” from the Wes Craven estate.

Falbo is represented by Range Media Partners, UTA and Ziffren Brittenham. Barrett is represented by Mosaic, Fox Rothschild and WME.
