- Wingman, Harland Williams' comedy, is set for theatrical release next month in Canada via Andromedia and Australia via Bounty Films, followed by a U.S. streaming debut on Apple TV on May 26.
- Williams directs and co-stars in the film alongside Evan Marsh (Workin' Moms), with the story tracking a self-styled wacky 'wingman' whose extreme coaching drives a man into escalating dating misadventures to win back his ex, played by Shiva Negar.
- The ensemble cast also includes Kayla Wallace (Landman), Jamie Kennedy (Scream), Russell Peters (Chef), and David Lipper (Full House), with casting handled by Carly Granovsky.
- Justin L. Levine (Life Happens) and Stardust Pictures produced the film, while David Lipper and Robert A. Daly Jr. serve as executive producers and James Pratt (Eyes of Salt) is associate producer.
- Williams wrote the screenplay with the story by Levine, and the film already premiered at the Malibu Film Festival before its wider international rollout.
Why it matters: A two-country theatrical window before a U.S. Apple TV drop is a non-standard path for a Williams-led indie comedy, and the international-first strategy could give the film broader visibility while positioning Apple TV as its primary U.S. audience funnel on May 26.
