Remember Buddy—the bright orange unicorn and star of that classic children’s television show who brought joy and life lessons into your living room? Inside the colorful world of “It’s Buddy!”, a group of children spend their days singing, dancing, and helping Buddy spread happiness.

But when one child refuses to play along, Buddy is not pleased and cracks begin to appear in this seemingly perfect world.

As you might have figured out Buddy is an upcoming 2026 comedy slasher film directed by Casper Kelly from a screenplay by Kelly and Jamie King, and stars Cristin Milioti, Topher Grace, Keegan-Michael Key, Michael Shannon, and Patton Oswalt.

Reminds me a bit of Mr. Crocket from Huluween, but it will be interesting to see what they do with this.

Buddy is in theaters August 28, 2026.
