Playdate Trailer Turns a Dad Hangout Into Total Mayhem

Prime Video has unveiled the trailer and poster for Playdate, the action comedy set to premiere on the streaming service on November 12, 2025. The movie has been rated PG-13 by the MPA for strong language, violence/action, sexual material, some drug references, and smoking.

When recently unemployed accountant Brian (Kevin James) agrees to a playdate with charismatic stay-at-home dad Jeff (Alan Ritchson) and their sons, he expects an easy afternoon of small talk and football tossing. Instead, he’s thrust into a chaotic scramble to stay alive as a ruthless team of mercenaries pursues them.

Brian stumbles through one ridiculous obstacle after another, his zero tactical skills a stark contrast to Jeff’s oddly prepared demeanor.

Director Luke Greenfield (Let’s Be Cops, The Girl Next Door) hilariously collides suburban dad life with high-stakes thrills, transforming an ordinary afternoon into an absurd action-packed adventure where minivan mayhem meets professional hitmen.

In addition to Kevin James and Alan Ritchson (Reacher), Playdate also stars Sarah Chalke (Scrubs), Alan Tudyk (Superman), Benjamin Pajak, Banks Pierce, and Hiro Kanagawa, with Stephen Root (Get Out) and Isla Fisher (Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, Wedding Crashers).

The 93-minute film was produced by Luke Greenfield, Jason Benoit, Sean Patrick O’Reilly, Mark Fasano, and Jeffrey Greenstein.

The executive producers include Alan Ritchson, Dan Spilo, Neil Goldman, Michelle Meyers, Alexis Garcia, Matthew Goldberg, Lee Broda, and Jamal Sannon.

Principal photography for Playdate began on March 11, 2024, in Vancouver, Canada, and wrapped on April 23 of that year.
