Netflix Is Turning ‘Between Two Ferns’ Into A Movie
Starring Zach Galifianakis and "celebrities you've heard of".
Netflix has announced it will release a feature film version of Zach Galifianakis’ internet talkshow Between Two Ferns. Because if there’s one word that springs to mind when you watch that show, it’s ‘cinematic’.
A teaser poster tweeted by the streaming service indicated the movie will drop on September 20 and will star Galifianakis along with “celebrities you’ve heard of”. Past guests on the show have included Justin Bieber, Charlize Theron, Brad Pitt and Steve Carell, so they’ve definitely got a decent well to draw from.

According to an official synopsis, the film will see Galifianakis take his ferns on the road, interviewing high profile guests in order to restore his reputation after the show’s success on Funny Or Die made him a laughing stock. It’s being directed by Scott Aukerman, who helmed a bunch of episodes of Between Two Ferns and also hosts the long-running podcast Comedy Bang Bang. No word on if President Obama is planning on making another appearance.
