While the Duplass brothers hit a slight bump in the road this year when HBO canceled their excellent dramedy “Togetherness,” the prolific pair tend to have many projects on the go simultaneously, so it’s not a surprise there’s something new on the horizon from the duo. And this time around, it sees them bring their perceptive eye on comedic tragedy to a wedding day in the first trailer for “Table 19.”

With a story from Mark and Jay Duplass, starring Anna Kendrick, Tony Revolori, Stephen Merchant, Lisa Kudrow, and Craig Robinson, and directed by Jeffrey Blitz (“Spellbound,” “Rocket Science“), the story centers on a woman who, after being dumped by the best man, attends a wedding anyway and sits at the dreaded singles table, unceremoniously relieved of her maid of honor duties. Sounds like a pretty great milieu for the Duplass’ particular brand of comedy, and this ensemble looks like a great crew to bite into the material.
“Table 19” opens on January 20, 2017.
