Nobody, a box office hit in 2021, followed Hutch Mansell (Odenkirk), a docile family man who slowly reveals his true character after his house gets burgled, leading him into a bloody war with a Russian crime boss. Lloyd played Hutch’s father and a retired FBI agent, and will return in that role.

Plot details are being kept under wraps on the sequel but the project reunites the producers of the original: Kelly McCormick and David Leitch, known for The Fall Guy, Bullet Train, and Violent Night; Bob Odenkirk (Nebraska); Marc Provissiero (No Hard Feelings) via Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment; and Braden Aftergood (Tulsa King) via Eighty Two Films. Universal’s Executive Vice President of Production Development Jay Polidoro and Director of Development Tony Ducret will oversee the project on behalf of the Studio.

Screen and stage vet Lloyd, who recently scored his fourth Emmy nomination for Hacks and is also known for movies such as The Addams Family, has Wednesday upcoming. He won an Emmy in 1992 for Disney’s Road To Avonlea.

Lloyd is represented by Gersh and Jacob Greenspan.
