Jerry Seinfeld and Melissa McCarthy come together on a fun journey of making the world’s most favourite thing to munch on in the morning — pop-tarts.
The trailer for Netflix’s Unfrosted is here as Jerry Seinfeld and Melissa McCarthy get together to revolutionise breakfast with their pop-tarts. The pop-tarts film is set to release on Netflix on May 3.
As per the OTT giant, Unfrosted’s logline reads: “Michigan, 1963. Kellogg’s and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast forever. A tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen, ‘Unfrosted’ stars writer-director Jerry Seinfeld.”
The film has been conceptualised by Jerry Seinfeld who has on many occasions spoken about doing a film on pop-tarts and their revolutionary story of entering our homes. In a 2018 post, Jerry wrote on X (back then Twitter): “At one point I was thinking about an invention of the Pop Tart movie. Imagine the drunk on sugar-power Kellogg’s cereal culture of the mid-60’s in Battle Creek, MI. That’s a vibe I could work with.”
He also brought up the idea on The Late Show in 2010.
Unfrosted also features Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, Max Greenfield, Christian Slater, Bill Burr, Daniel Levy, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Thomas Lennon, Bobby Moynihan, Adrian Martinez, Sarah Cooper and Fred Armisen.
