Nicole Byer, Kathy Griffin & More Join CURSED FRIENDS Comedy Central Film

MTV Entertainment Studios TODAY announced Cursed Friends, a new Comedy Central original movie from Propagate and Will Arnett's Electric Avenue is set to premiere Saturday, October 8th at 8PM ET/PT.

Nicole Byer (Nailed It!, Grand Crew), Jessica Lowe (Minx, The Righteous Gemstones), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows, Reacher), and Andrew Lewis Caldwell (Danger Force, The Matrix Resurrections) lead an all-star cast in this nostalgic supernatural comedy.

The film will also star Joey Fatone, James Austin Johnson, Nikki Glaser, Kathy Griffin, Nicole Richie, along with Ken Marino and Rob Riggle, with an appearance by Will Arnett.

After a drunken reunion, four 30-something childhood friends wake up on Halloween to realize that a predict-your-future game of M.A.S.H. (Mansion Apartment Shack House) that they played in 2002 is starting to come true for them in hilarious and disturbing ways.

They must band together to help each other escape the WILD fates that have turned their lives upside down -- from having 100 kids with the hometown loser, to leading a cult, to marrying NSYNC's Joey Fatone.

The film was executive produced by Peter Principato and Joel Zadak for Artists First, Will Arnett, Marc Forman, and Evan Thompson for Electric Avenue, Ben Silverman, Howard T. Owens, Drew Buckley, and Isabel San Vargas for Propagate, Ari Pearce and Andrew Lutin for MTV Entertainment Studios.
