The oscar-winning trio of "Green Book" is going back to their comedy roots. Peter Farrelly and co-writers Steve Leff and Pete Jones are bringing "The Now" to the short-form mobile video platform. Dave Franco is set to play the protagonist. Both brothers Bobby and Peter will direct the series.

"The Now" will see Dave Franco playing Ed Poole (Franco), a man considering suicide who achieves clarity when a secret from his past has seemingly destroyed his future. He soon realizes that the only thing that will make his life worth living is to forget the past, screw the future and live in the present.

Farrelly Brothers are primarily known for their comedies "Kingpin", "There's Something About Mary", "Dumb and Dumber", "Shallow Hall." Dave Franco also started out with comedies but has gradually made his way towards more mainstream roles. He will be seen in the upcoming movies "6 Underground" and "The Rental" which he also wrote and direct.
