Spec Script Deal: “Guys with No Friends”

Paramount Pictures acquires comedy spec script “Guys with No Friends” written by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont. Via Variety:

When four socially awkward, middle-aged men are reluctantly pushed into a “man date” by their fed-up wives, their evening spirals into a series of unexpected and chaotic misadventures across the city. This wild night leaves them not only bruised and bewildered, but also unexpectedly bonded, forging an unlikely friendship that forever changes their mundane lives.

It’s a reported seven-figure deal after “a highly competitive, multi-studio bidding war.”

Writers are repped by Verve and Entertainment 360.

By my count, this is the 5th spec script deal in 2025.

There were 9 spec script deals year-to-date in 2024.
