The new Hulu film Self Reliance will premiere on Friday, January 12, on Paramount+ in Canada.
Jake Johnson (Minx, New Girl) stars as a middle-aged man who is invited into a limo by famous actor Andy Samberg (as himself), which is when his dull life takes a thrilling turn. Johnson’s Tommy is offered a chance to win a million dollars in a dark web reality TV show, where assassins from all over the world attempt to kill him for 30 days. The catch? He can’t be killed if he’s not entirely alone, leaving him to recruit an unlikely team to help him survive.
Johnson wrote, directed, and produced the film alongside The Lonely Island (Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jordma Taccone). Self Reliance also stars Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect), Natalie Morales (The Morning Show), Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek), Mary Holland (The Afterparty), Boban Marjanovic (John Wick: Chapter 3), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), and Wayne Brady (Let’s Make A Deal).
