Today, Quibi announced the greenlight for THE NOW from Peter and Bobby Farrelly, and the casting of Dave Franco in the lead role.

Produced by Anonymous Content, the series will be directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly, who most recently won two Oscars for writing and producing 'Green Book.'

From Academy Award winner Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, comes a comedy that examines what exactly makes life worth living. For Ed Poole (Dave Franco), clarity comes when a secret from his past has seemingly destroyed his future. He soon realizes the only thing that will make his life worth living is to forget the past, screw the future and just live in THE NOW.
