Strays is a forthcoming American comedy film directed, co-produced, and written by Josh Greenbaum. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller inked a first-look contract with Universal Pictures in August 2019. Strays, an adult comedy about dogs written by Dan Perrault, was bought by Universal in May 2021, with Lord and Miller engaged to produce alongside Erik Feig and Louis Leterrier.
We might be looking at one of the biggest comedic blockbusters of 2023 thanks to a creative team that comprises some of Hollywood’s top talent for comedy both in front of and behind the camera, talking dogs that swear, and a release date in the height of summer.

Strays: Official synopsis
The official synopsis of the film according to Universal, reads, “They say a dog is a man’s best friend, but what if the man is a total dirtbag? In that case, it might be time for some sweet revenge, doggy style. When Reggie (Will Ferrell), a naïve, relentlessly optimistic Border Terrier, is abandoned on the mean city streets by his lowlife owner, Doug (Will Forte; The Last Man on Earth, Nebraska), Reggie is certain that his beloved owner would never leave him on purpose. But once Reggie falls in with a fast-talking, foul-mouthed Boston Terrier named Bug (Oscar® winner Jamie Foxx), a stray who loves his freedom and believes that owners are for suckers, Reggie finally realizes he was in a toxic relationship and begins to see Doug for the heartless sleazeball that he is. Determined to seek revenge, Reggie, Bug and Bug’s pals—Maggie (Isla Fisher; Now You See Me, Wedding Crashers), a smart Australian Shepherd who has been sidelined by her owner’s new puppy, and Hunter (Randall Park; Always Be My Maybe, Aquaman), an anxious Great Dane who’s stressed out by his work as an emotional support animal—together hatch a plan and embark on an epic adventure to help Reggie find his way home … and make Doug pay by biting off the appendage he loves the most. (Hint: It’s not his foot). A subversion of the dog movies we know and love, Strays, directed by Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar) and written by Dan Perrault (Players, American Vandal), is a hilarious, R-rated, live-action comedy about the complications of love, the importance of great friendships, and the unexpected virtues of couch humping.”
Strays: Release Date
The original release date for Strays was June 9, 2023.
