August 26, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Searchlight Pictures has released a teaser trailer for Bradley Cooper’s latest directorial offering, the comedy drama Is This Thing On?, ahead of its world premiere at the New York Film Festival this October.

Will Arnett and Laura Dern as Alex and Tess, a couple facing changes in their life as an impending divorce looms, with Alex finding purpose in stand-up comedy and Tess confronting the sacrifices she’s made over the course of their relationship for their family.

Joining Arnett, Dern and Cooper in the cast are Andra Day, Amy Sedaris, Sean Hayes, Christine Ebersole, Ciarán Hinds, and Scott Icenogle. Watch the trailer below…

As their marriage quietly unravels, Alex (Will Arnett) faces middle age and an impending divorce, seeking new purpose in the New York comedy scene while Tess (Laura Dern) confronts the sacrifices she made for their family—forcing them to navigate co-parenting, identity, and whether love can take a new form.

Is This Thing On? arrives in cinemas this December.
