Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney Light Up the Stage in Everything’s Going to Be Great Trailer

Lionsgate has dropped the first trailer for Everything’s Going to Be Great, a vibrant, feel-good dramedy set in the chaotic, colorful world of regional theater. Directed by Jon S. Baird (Stan & Ollie), the film stars Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney as two aging thespians still chasing curtain calls while juggling family, identity, and a whole lot of backstage drama.

 

Cranston and Janney play Buddy and Macy Smart, a longtime theater couple whose love for the stage is only rivaled by their wildly different approaches to parenting. Their sons—played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Jack Champion—couldn't be more opposite, yet their coming-of-age journeys are central to this multigenerational story of misfits trying to find their spotlight. Rounding out the cast are Simon Rex and Chris Cooper, adding depth and eccentricity to the ensemble.

 

Written by Steven Rogers (I, Tonya), the film blends zany theater antics with touching moments of vulnerability, charting a family's path through self-doubt, ambition, and ultimately, acceptance. From missed cues to personal revelations, Everything’s Going to Be Great celebrates the messiness of life—and the courage it takes to keep performing through it all.

 

Set for release on June 20, 2025, the film promises a rich mix of laughs and tears, theatrical absurdity and real emotional stakes. With two powerhouse leads in Cranston and Janney, and a script that embraces both chaos and catharsis, Everything’s Going to Be Great looks ready to steal the spotlight this summer.
