Jim Carrey stars in new trailer for Showtime’s Kidding

August 7, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its season premiere next month, Showtime has released a new trailer for upcoming comedy drama Kidding which stars Jim Carrey as Jeff/Mr. Pickles, a children’s TV show host who finds himself in the midst of a mental breakdown as his family falls apart. Also featuring in the cast alongside Carrey are Catherine Keener, Judy Greer, Frank Langella, and Justin Kirk; watch it here…

In his first series regular role in over two decades, Jim Carrey stars as Jeff, aka Mr. Pickles, an icon of children’s television, a beacon of kindness and wisdom to America’s impressionable young minds, who also anchors a multimillion-dollar branding empire. But when Jeff’s family begins to implode, he finds no fairy tale or fable or puppet will guide him through the crisis, which advances faster than his means to cope. The result: a kind man in a cruel world faces a slow leak of sanity as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.

Kidding premieres on September 9th on Showtime.
