Prime Video has just debuted the trailer for Merv, the new holiday rom-com starring Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox. The movie will begin streaming on Prime Video on December 10th.
Merv centers on Anna (Deschanel) and Russ (Cox), a couple navigating a breakup while attempting to co-parent their dog Merv. After being diagnosed as depressed, Russ takes Merv to Florida for a much-needed getaway, only for Anna to show up unexpectedly. As Merv slowly gets his groove back, it seems that fixing their dog’s broken heart may lead to a few sparks of their own.
The trailer previews the dynamic between Deschanel and Cox, also showcasing the dog played by Gus. Directed by playwright Jessica Swale (Paddington: The Musical, Nell Gwynn), the movie also stars Chris Redd, David Hunt and Patricia Heaton.
Known for playing Daredevil in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Charlie Cox is also a stage actor, most recently appearing on Broadway in Betrayal.
