'Old Dads’, a feature-length film following three friends as they navigate a culturally changing world, is set for international release on October 20.
Hollywood blockbuster film studio, Miramax, which is co-owned by beIN Media Group and Paramount, has struck a deal with Netflix to sell its original comedy Old Dads. The movie, marking comedian Bill Burr’s directorial debut, is scheduled for worldwide release on October 20.
Old Dads, co-written, produced, and starring Bill Burr, features a cast including Bobby Cannavale (known for Boardwalk Empire), Bokeem Woodbine (from Fargo), and Rachael Harris (star of Diary of a Wimpy Kid). The story revolves around three best friends who sell their company to millennials, only to find themselves out of sync and struggling to adapt to the changing times. The resulting misadventures in navigating a shifting cultural landscape lead to a series of uproarious situations.
BeIN Media Group continues its strategic push into the entertainment industry, particularly in the creation of original content across its various subsidiaries, with a focus on its OTT platform TOD. The sale of a Miramax Original to Netflix underscores the group’s dedication to delivering top-notch productions to audiences. Within the “TOD Originals” initiative, the group is committed to showcasing the rich tapestry of life, sports, and culture in the MENA region. These series predominantly originate from Gulf countries, Egypt, Turkey, and the Levant. TOD is actively working to expand this collection, providing a platform for indigenous talents to showcase their artistic prowess.
