Lionsgate’s upcoming comedy Good Fortune brings together a wildly unexpected cast for a story that mixes humor, heart, and a touch of heavenly chaos. Scheduled to hit theaters on October 17, 2025, the film marks Aziz Ansari’s latest directorial venture, with Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, and Sandra Oh joining the ensemble.
The story follows Gabriel (Reeves), a well-meaning but rather inept angel whose attempts to help humanity spiral into confusion. In his latest mission, he decides to interfere in the lives of two men who couldn’t be more different, a struggling gig worker (Ansari) and a wealthy venture capitalist (Rogen). As their fates collide under Gabriel’s misguided watch, Good Fortune promises a clever take on the fine line between destiny and disaster
The film is produced by Aniz Adam Ansari, Jonathan McCoy, Christopher Woodrow, and Connor DiGregorio, with Lionsgate distributing globally. Good Fortune continues Ansari’s evolution behind the camera, following his acclaimed work on Master of None and Aziz Ansari: Right Now. The mix of his grounded, observational humor with Rogen’s signature wit and Reeves’ unlikely comedic energy hints at a blend of emotional depth and absurdity.
While plot details remain largely under wraps, the tone is expected to balance lighthearted comedy with a reflective look at purpose, privilege, and perspective, all wrapped in an otherworldly premise. With such a diverse cast and Ansari’s sharp storytelling instincts, Good Fortune stands poised to be one of Lionsgate’s most distinctive releases of 2025.
