Eddie Murphy and Eva Longoria are joining forces once again, this time for Attachment Parenting, a new comedy in development at Amazon MGM Studios. The project marks a reunion for the two stars, who previously worked together on the 2006 family hit The Shaggy Dog. Now, nearly two decades later, they’re stepping back into each other’s orbit for a film built around modern parenting chaos, generational clashes, and Murphy’s signature comedic energy.
Attachment Parenting centers on the increasingly popular — and often polarizing — parenting philosophy that emphasizes constant closeness, emotional attunement, and hands‑on involvement. The film is expected to play with the extremes of the trend, using Murphy’s comedic instincts and Longoria’s sharp timing to explore what happens when idealistic parenting theories collide with real‑world family life.
Murphy continues his creative resurgence with Amazon MGM, following recent collaborations that have reintroduced him to a new generation of audiences. Longoria, meanwhile, has expanded her footprint as both an actress and director, bringing a strong comedic sensibility and cultural perspective to her projects.
The film is being positioned as a warm, high‑energy family comedy with broad appeal — the kind of project that lets Murphy lean into physical humor and character‑driven storytelling, while giving Longoria room to shine as a comedic partner. With Amazon MGM backing the production, the movie is expected to receive a wide streaming rollout, with the potential for a theatrical component depending on the final cut.
No release date has been announced yet, but anticipation is already building. For fans of Murphy, Longoria, and family‑centered comedies with heart, Attachment Parenting is shaping up to be a standout addition to Amazon MGM’s growing slate.
