“Genie,” a holiday fairytale comedy about a genie, a man, and landing one last chance to fix the mess you’ve made of your life arrives on Peacock on Wednesday, Nov. 22. With his job, life and family unraveling around him, a despondent Bernard (played by Paapa Essiedu) dusts off a jewelry box and unintentionally releases genie Flora (Melissa McCarthy), who just might be able to help him. Maybe. It’s a long shot, frankly. But, in the process, Flora and Bernard will discover that an unexpected friendship can unleash a special holiday magic all its own. You can watch Genie with a subscription to Peacock.
About ‘Genie’ Starring Melissa McCarthy
Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy stars as Flora, a genie trapped for more than 2,000 years inside an antique jewelry box because of one teeny-tiny little misunderstanding with a sorcerer back in 77 B.C.
After millennia of being summoned to grant wishes of gold doubloons and hot babes for greedy men, Flora is accidentally called to service by Bernard Bottle, whose life is unraveling around him.
Bernard’s been so busy working that he has lost sight of his marriage to his wife Julie and the childhood of his young daughter, Eve. When Bernard misses Eve’s birthday 12 days before Christmas because of work, Julie decides it’s time for a trial separation. And then Bernard’s tyrannical boss fires him.
Alone in his New York City apartment, a despondent Bernard dusts off a jewelry box he finds in their home and unintentionally releases the one entity who just might be able to help him get his family back. Maybe. Possibly.
