Kenan Thompson and Lamorne Morris are teaming up for a high‑energy action‑comedy adaptation of Unwanted, the popular QCode podcast that blends suspense, humor, and fast‑paced adventure. The upcoming film marks a fresh pairing of two of comedy’s most versatile performers, each bringing a distinct style to a story built on chaos, unlikely heroism, and sharp banter.
Unwanted follows two ordinary friends whose lives spiral into danger after they accidentally become entangled in a criminal conspiracy. What begins as a simple misunderstanding quickly escalates into a cross‑country chase involving assassins, federal agents, and a rotating cast of eccentric characters. The movie aims to capture the same mix of humor and tension that made the podcast a breakout hit.
Thompson, the longest‑running cast member in Saturday Night Live history, brings his signature warmth and comedic timing to the project. Morris, known for his standout roles in New Girl and Woke, adds a charismatic, quick‑witted edge that plays perfectly against Thompson’s grounded charm. Together, they form a duo built for both laughs and action.
The original podcast, created by Brett Neveu and produced by QCode, earned praise for its cinematic storytelling and dynamic character chemistry. The film adaptation is expected to expand the world of the audio series, adding bigger set pieces, heightened stakes, and a visual flair that leans into the action‑comedy genre.
With Thompson and Morris at the center, Unwanted is shaping up to be a crowd‑pleasing blend of buddy‑comedy energy and high‑stakes adventure. Production details and a release date are still under wraps, but anticipation is already building as the project moves forward.
