“The Now” is a comedy from The Farrelly Brothers, who have been behind movies such as “There’s Something About Mary,” “Dumb and Dumber,” and “Hall Pass.” The show will air on Quibi, the hotly anticipated shortform streaming service from Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman, which is set to launch in April 2020.

“The Now” is said to center around Dave Franco, who will play Ed Poole — a man trying to forget his past, not worry about the future and to simply enjoy the present. In addition to Milano, the star-studded show includes Daryl Hannah and Bill Murray, although additional details about the comedy have been kept under wraps.
