| The Friend |
Premiering August 1 on the Paramount+ Premium plan is the Guy Pearce thriller The Infernal Machine. A reclusive and controversial author is drawn out of hiding when he begins to receive endless letters from an obsessive fan. What ensues is a dangerous labyrinth as he searches for the person behind the cryptic messages.
Based on the bestselling novel, The Friend tells the story of writer and teacher Iris (Naomi Watts) who finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Bill Murray) bequeaths her his beloved 150 lb. Great Dane, named Apollo. As Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with Apollo, she begins to come to terms with her past and her own creative inner life.
