The news today is an absolute dumpster fire, so in an attempt to combat that, here is a photo of Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers. He's wearing a red cardigan, and it's all kinds of perfect. Please enjoy.

Sony Pictures just released the photo, the first of the two-time Oscar winner Hanks in character for the upcoming untitled project. Apparently, it's coming to a "neighborhood near you" in October 2019.

The project is described as a story of kindness triumphing over cynicism (feels very necessary right now), based on the story of the real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and Tom Junod, a journalist.

Matthew Rhys plays Junod, and he's assigned a profile on Rogers. Through writing it, he overcomes skepticism, learning more about being a nice guy and a decent neighbor, Sony wrote in a release.

In case you need a reminder of how great this show was and all the goodness that's to come, I'll leave you with this.
