Project Development Timeline

This exciting project has been in the works since 2019, when it was announced that Mattel Films and Daniel Kaluuya’s 59% Productions would collaborate with A24 to bring this beloved childhood character to life on the big screen.

A Nostalgic Icon

Barney & Friends, which aired from 1992 to 2009, was a cherished part of many childhoods. The show introduced audiences to Barney, an imaginative and endlessly optimistic tyrannosaurus rex who imparted valuable lessons about friendship through engaging songs and dances.

The breakout star from The Bear will also appear in the fourth season of the FX series that earned her an Emmy. Other notable projects on her horizon include James L. Brooks’ Ella McCay and Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt. Her writing portfolio includes acclaimed works like Dickinson and What We Do In the Shadows.
