Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune to hit UK cinemas this October with Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer
Lionsgate UK has released the trailer and first-look imagery for Good Fortune, the highly anticipated feature directorial debut from Aziz Ansari. The comedy, which boasts an all-star cast including Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, Sandra Oh and Keanu Reeves, will arrive in UK cinemas on 17th October 2025, following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Written and directed by Ansari (Master of None), Good Fortune tells the story of an awkward but well-intentioned angel named Gabriel (Reeves), whose celestial intervention wreaks unexpected havoc in the lives of two very different men: a struggling gig worker (played by Ansari himself) and a wealthy venture capitalist (Rogen). In classic screwball style, divine plans go hilariously awry as heavenly meddling meets earthly chaos.
The film marks Ansari’s first turn behind the camera on a feature, reuniting him with longtime collaborator Alan Yang (Parks and Recreation), who produces alongside Anthony Katagas (12 Years a Slave). Palmer (Nope) and Oh (Killing Eve) round out the ensemble, bringing additional star power and comedic bite.
With Reeves embracing a rare comic role as a bumbling angel and Ansari returning to the kind of sharp social satire that defined his television work, Good Fortune looks poised to be a witty, irreverent exploration of class, fate and human fallibility – with a celestial twist.
