Following the release of their insipid, fatally unimaginative Superintelligence, Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone have set up another comedy about an average office worker in contact with an omnipotent presence.
Falcone is reportedly now set to ride his wife’s coattails with God’s Favorite Idiot, a Netflix series he has the audacity to lead himself. He’ll star as a mid-level tech support guy who falls for his co-worker (McCarthy) just as he’s become God’s unwitting messenger.
Prior to Superintelligence, Falcone also directed McCarthy in Tammy, The Boss, and Life of the Party, so she must really love the guy to keep on with this thankless collaboration.
