Based on the 1991 teleplay, ‘Bernard and the Genie,’ comes Peacock’s original film ‘Genie‘ – a new Christmas comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Paapa Essiedu.

Telling the story of a man who has been down on his luck and sparks a friendship with a genie who can grant him unlimited wishes just in time for Christmas, the festive flick sees the two embark on an incredible adventure that reminds viewers just how much the power of love can unlock holiday cheer and magic.

Also starring Jordyn McIntosh, Tate Ellington, Alan Cumming, Denée Benton, Luis Guzmán, Marc Maron, LaChanze, and more, look inside to see the official trailer before the Sam Boyd-directed movie heads to screens on Wednesday (November 22).
