About 'Bedtime Stories with Ryan' Series Premiere

The trajectory of Ryan Reynolds’ career from “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” to rom-com darling to superhero to Welsh football club owner to guy who reads you bedtime stories has been interesting to watch. But as Reynolds’ profile has continued to grow, he has moved more and more into the business world. In addition to purchasing Wrexham FC along with “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Rob McElhenney, he has also launched a gin company and a mobile phone carrier.

Another business venture for the former World’s Sexiest Man is his production company Maximum Effort, which he founded with George Dewey in 2018. Last year, the company signed a deal with [live TV streaing] service Fubo last summer to create original content and “Bedtime Stories with Ryan” is the first title to come from the partnership.

The idea for the show was conceived on the same night that Reynolds and wife Blake Lively’s fourth child was born. The concept is that Ryan will put on his best ASMR voice and softly read beloved bedtime tales to you until you fall asleep. There are 15 episodes in the first season of the series, but if America’s insomnia epidemic continues after that, perhaps there will be more.
