When the puppet castmembers of 1980s children's TV show The Happytime Gang begin turning up dead, an alcoholic, disgraced LAPD detective turned private-eye puppet takes the case with his former human partner.
“When a really good script combines puppet strippers, Los Angeles' underbelly and comedy, it's like my fever dream has finally come true,” McCarthy said in a statement.
