Wendell & Wild is an animated tale about scheming demon brothers Wendell (Keegan-Michael Key) and WILD (Peele) – who enlist the aid of 13-year-old Kat Elliot – a tough teen with a load of guilt – to summon them to the Land of the Living. But what Kat demands in return leads to a brilliantly bizarre and comedic adventure like no other, an animated fantasy that defies the law of life and death.

The film is directed by Henry Selick based on a script he wrote with Peele and will be released around Halloween.
