Now, Melissa McCarthy is leading the project, and her Bridesmaids co-star Maya Rudolph joined up this week to help solve crime.
The Happytime Murders is an R-rated comedic murder mystery that imagines a Los Angeles where humans and Henson-like puppets somehow coexist.
Deadline reports that Rudolph has joined the movie, which will be directed by Jim Henson’s son Brian Henson, who’s inherited his father’s puppet legacy.
The comedy is set in the underbelly of a Los Angeles where puppets and humans co-exist.
