Josh Duhamel Goes Full 'Godfather' in Preschool Sneak Peek

Josh Duhamel returns as both star and director in Preschool, a comedy that skewers the high‑stakes world of early childhood education. Republic Pictures will release the film digitally on March 17.

The story follows two London‑based dads, played by Duhamel and Michael Socha, locked in a contest to secure the final spot at the city’s most prestigious preschool. An exclusive first look shows the rivals trading one‑upmanship: Duhamel displays his daughter’s trophy cabinet, draws Socha’s child into a room for an air‑acrobatic display, then offers a check overflowing with zeros.

The ensemble also includes Antonia Thomas, Charity Wakefield, Fenella Woolgar and James Cosmo. Duhamel directed after helming 2019’s Buddy Games and its 2023 sequel, with a screenplay by Richard D’Ovidio from a story he wrote with Nicole D’Ovidio.
