Tyler Falbo to direct Paramount comedy Boys for Life in 2027
Developed over time first seen 1 month ago
Paramount has set Tyler Falbo, best known for his work shaping the online sketch-comedy brand Almost Friday, to direct and produce the R-rated film “Boys for Life”, with a cinema release scheduled for 9 April 2027. The project is notable as a major studio step for Falbo and as an example of Paramount backing comedy talent that emerged from digital media. It also underlines the studio’s commitment to its new Primal label, which is aimed at lower-budget films from newer filmmakers.
“Boys for Life” is described as an ensemble comedy about a group of friends reuniting, though most plot details remain undisclosed, and the film is already in production. Falbo co-wrote the script with Max Barrett, who is also known as the creator of Friday Beers and a co-founder of Almost Friday Media, while Galen Core is producing as well. Variety reports that Paramount secured the project after competition from A24 and Warner Bros., and that it will be released under Primal, a label focused on “smartly budgeted” comedy, horror, action and grounded science fiction.

Tyler Falbo is a comedy producer and director who helped build Almost Friday, an online media company known for short comedy sketches and viral videos. Max Barrett, who co-wrote the film, is also a co-founder of Almost Friday and created the comedy brand Friday Beers.
The film is being made by Paramount Pictures, one of Hollywood’s major studios. It will be released through Paramount’s Primal label, which is intended to make lower-cost films by newer filmmakers in genres including comedy, horror and action.
Ensemble comedies focus on a group of characters rather than one main lead, and stories about friends reuniting often draw on their shared history and changing relationships. An R rating in the United States generally means the film is intended for adult audiences and may include strong language, sexual material, violence or drug use.
