]]>Written by Leland Douglas, Nutcrackers will center on a work-obsessed Mike, who reluctantly travels to rural Ohio to look after his four rambunctious nephews after their parents die in a car accident. His three-day trip quickly turns into weeks of farm-life mayhem, and Mike quickly comes to realize he doesn’t need to find a home for his nephews because they’ve found one for him.
Stiller dedicated himself to his work behind the camera in recent years, and we haven’t seen him play a lead role since 2017 when he starred in Mike White’s Brad’s Status and Noah Baumbach’s The Meyerowitz Stories. He currently serves as director and executive producer of Apple TV+’s Severance, which received 14 Emmy nominations for its first season.
In addition to playing the lead role in Nutcrackers, Stiller will also produce it through his Red Hour Films banner, alongside his partner John Lesher, Rivulet’s Rob Paris and Mike Witherill, and Rough House’s Nate Meyer.

]]>The twist is that Jack Black serves as the “Game Master” tricking the participants throughout the game. During the competition, Stiller, Kudrow, Cox, and Scott try to solve the puzzles while Black manipulates a set of buzzers and they can ask him only three clues. When they finally figure it out, there are more surprises waiting for them and you can see Cox walking through a tiny, dark room by herself—reminiscent of her horror days in Scream.
In a sneak peek Scott says, “The game master is Jack Black and he is diabolical,” Scott says.
“It’s a battle of wits,” Black explains. “You against the room.”
Who’s the weakest link in this A-list team? “That’s me,” Kudrow volunteers.
“No, you’re so smart,” Cox says. “It’s going to be [Adam Scott].”
For each room the players complete, money is donated to Red Nose Day to charities for children in need. The show aired on May 21 on NBC and was followed by the two-hour Red Nose Day Special.
