Colin Davis, Roku’s Head of Original Scripted Programming, believes the industry is lacking in biopics of iconic musicians and is proud to be the first to do so.

“Weird Al” Yankovic has smashed records and made history throughout his lifetime. As the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time and a five-time Grammy winner.

The film, which was co-written by Yankovic and director Eric Appel, will be Roku’s first original biography and will be available exclusively on The Roku Channel. The project will begin filming in Los Angeles next month.
