Co-created by Tatro and Pierce, the original series for Facebook Watch chronicled the misadventures of four bros still struggling to grow up 10 years after their high school graduation. In the film continuation, Xander (Tatro) and his squad embark on a journey to become the dopest versions of themselves in time to flex on all of their old classmates, with their 10-year high school reunion just around the corner.
A parody of shows like The Real Housewives and Jersey Shore, Real Bros started its life as a web series on Tatro’s YouTube page before heading to Facebook, where it ran for three seasons.

Zoey Joins Rom-Com “The Threesome”
Zoey Deutch, Jonah Hauer-King & Ruby Cruz To Topline Rom-Com ‘The Threesome’
DEADLINE – Zoey Deutch (Not Okay), Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid) and Ruby Cruz (Bottoms) will star alongside Jaboukie Young-White (Rap Sh!t) and Josh Segarra (Scream IV) in the high-concept romantic comedy The Threesome from Star Thrower Entertainment (King Richard), Filmopoly and Jupiter Peak, which has wrapped production in Arkansas.
Directed by Chad Hartigan (Morris from America) from a script by Ethan Ogilby, The Threesome explores the aftermath of one impulsive, seemingly innocuous decision. When a young man’s perennial crush leads him into an unexpected threesome, he thinks it’s his ultimate fantasy come true. But when the fantasy ends, all three are left with sobering real-world consequences, forcing them to take responsibility for their actions — even if it means compromising the lives they’ve always envisioned.
The film is produced by Tim White and Trevor White for Star Thrower Entertainment, Vince Jolivette for Filmopoly, and Steven Shapiro for Jupiter Peak. Deutch also served as exec producer alongside Jupiter Peak’s Liz & Ken Whitney, Filmopoly’s Angie Sanfilippo and David Garrett, and Allan Mandelbaum.

Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell Are Reviving the Rom-Com
It seems like Zoey Deutch is everywhere these days. Between the meet-cute comedy Set It Up, the biting social media satire Not Okay, and crime thriller The Outfit, the Los Angeles native has found herself at the center of an impressively diverse slate of films as of late. Her newest project to hit streaming is Something From Tiffany’s, a sweet holiday romance, produced by Reese Witherspoon and adapted from the novel by Melissa Hill. To help her make sense of the madness, Deutch called up her former Set It Up beau Glen Powell, currently starring in the film Devotion, to talk about finding that elusive work/life balance, the peaks and pitfalls of working with your heroes, and driving the rom-com renaissance together.
