Prime Video is gearing up to deliver a high-octane laughter riot with its new action-comedy, The Pickup, headlined by the legendary comedian Eddie Murphy alongside Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer. Eva Longoria joins the cast as Natalie, Murphy’s on-screen wife, who, much like the film itself, isn’t quite what you expect. She’s a woman of surprising skills, elegance, and efficiency, knowing her husband better than he knows himself. When Russell cancels their anniversary plans, Natalie’s patience wears thin, but when he’s in danger, she’ll stop at nothing to save him. Far from a passive bystander, she becomes a vital part of the adventure, as their missed anniversary quickly spirals into a high-stakes rescue mission.
Sharing insights about her character and how she lands at the heart of the madness, Eva Longoria says, , “What I loved about the script and what I love about this film too is that I play Eddie’s wife, but I end up going along for the ride. I end up part of the adventure. And through a series of circumstances, I end up in trouble with them and I’m probably the most sane person in the situation. I save the day at the end. I think it’s really fun when you’re not just the wife of or the girlfriend in a film, when you play a vital part in the adventure.”
Produced and directed by Tim Story, and written by Matt Mider and Kevin Burrows, The Pickup stars Eddie Murphy, Keke Palmer, Pete Davidson, Eva Longoria, Andrew Dice Clay, Marshawn Lynch and Jack Kesy. The action comedy is set to premiere on August 6, 2025, exclusively on Prime Video, in English, with dubs in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.
