Directed by Luke Greenfield from a screenplay by Neil Goldman, the film centers on a stay-at-home dad who gets into trouble at a playdate (via Deadline).

“The film follows Brian (Kevin James), a down-on-his-luck man who has just lost his job and unexpectedly becomes a stay-at-home dad to his 10-year-old son,” says the film’s official logline.

“On his first day, he accepts an invitation to a playdate from Jeff (Ritchson), another stay-at-home dad who turns out to be an unexpectedly unpredictable character. The two fathers and their sons spend the day on the run and must confront a deadly conspiracy.”

In addition to Chalke, Playdate has cast a number of new faces in the lead roles in the film, which is currently shooting in Canada.

The stars who will star in the upcoming film include Alan Tudyk (“Moana”), Stephen Root (“Barry”), Isla Fisher (“Shopaholic”), Sabrina Elba (“Three Thousand Years of Our Lives”) and Hiro Kanagawa (“Star Trek: Discovery”).
