Weird, the “Weird Al” Yankovic biopic starring Daniel Radcliffe, is officially coming this fall.

Today, Yankovic and Roku announced that Weird: The Al Yankovic Story will premiere on the Roku Channel on November 4 by dropping the first official poster for the film. Featuring Yankovic (well, Radcliffe as Yankovic) standing back to the camera below the Hollywood sign wearing a jacket emblazoned with the film’s title, the poster is certainly eye catching for fans of Yankovic. It also features his signature accordion and instantly recognizable afro-style hair.

Directed and co-written by Eric Appel with Funny or Die and Tango co-producing alongside Yankovic, the film is sure to be a must see. From the brief teaser trailer Roku shared earlier this year, it looks like Radcliffe really embraced the role of “Weird Al”. Fans should be in for a real treat this November!

LeeAnn is children's librarian who joined Nerds and Beyond in 2020 as a way to stretch her writing skills and connect with others who have the same pop culture passions as she does. She loves music, reading (obviously), and any TV show that can grab and hold her attention. Currently some of her favorite things to nerd out over include Supernatural, Prodigal Son, Louden Swain and Percy Jackson (books, theater, or upcoming show - lets leave the movies out of it).
