Republic Pictures has unveiled the official trailer for Preschool, a family comedy starring Josh Duhamel. The film centers on two devoted fathers who find themselves at odds as they compete to secure the last spot at an exclusive preschool for their children. The movie will be available for digital rental or purchase starting March 17, 2026.
According to the official synopsis, the story is set in London, where two dads set their sights on the final open place at a luxurious preschool. What begins as a straightforward application quickly escalates into a humorous and intense rivalry filled with big-hearted laughs, outrageous competitions, and unexpected outcomes. As the competition intensifies and families become drawn into the chaos, both fathers confront what they’re truly willing to do for their kids—and explore what it really means to be a parent.
Preschool is directed by Josh Duhamel, with the screenplay written by Richard D’Ovidio, based on a story by Richard and Nicole D’Ovidio. The film features an ensemble cast including Duhamel, Michael Socha (What It Feels Like for a Girl), Antonia Thomas (The Good Doctor), Charity Wakefield (The Player), Fenella Woolgar (The Buccaneers), and James Cosmo (Braveheart). The project is produced by Duhamel alongside Michael J. Luisi and runs for 104 minutes.
This marks Duhamel’s third foray into directing comedy, following Buddy Games (2019) and Buddy Games: Spring Awakening (2023). Recently, he starred in the action film Off the Grid, the action-comedy London Calling, and the survival thriller Not Without Hope.
