20th Century Studios has unveiled a new trailer for ‘Ella McCay,’ the upcoming original comedy from Oscar® and Emmy Award®-winning writer, director, and producer James L. Brooks (As Good as It Gets, Terms of Endearment).

The new look offers audiences a heartwarming glimpse into Brooks’ latest ensemble-driven story — one brimming with humour, humanity, and a touch of chaos.

Emma Mackey (Barbie) stars as Ella McCay, an idealistic young woman struggling to balance her demanding work life with her complicated, lovable family. Set against the backdrop of everyday absurdities and heartfelt moments, the film explores what it means to love — and survive — the people closest to you.

The trailer teases wit and warmth, promising an emotionally rich comedy with sharp dialogue and a powerhouse cast. Joining Mackey are Oscar® winner Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses), Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick), Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Spike Fearn (Alien Romulus), Julie Kavner (The Simpsons), Rebecca Hall (Christine), Becky Ann Baker (Girls), and Joey Brooks (Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty), along with Albert Brooks (Broadcast News) and Woody Harrelson (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri).
