Maya Rudolph is teaming up once again with Bridesmaids co-star Melissa McCarthy in The Happytime Murders. The comedy is set in Los Angeles where puppets and humans co-exist.

The story follows "two clashing detectives, one human (McCarthy) and one puppet, are forced to work together to figure out who is brutally murdering the former cast of The Happytime Gang, a beloved classic puppet show."

Brian Henson will direct in conjunction with Jim Henson Company’s Henson Alternative banner. The story is by Todd Berger & Dee Robertson; the script was written by Berger, Robertson, Erich & Jon Hoeber and McCarthy.

Rudolph and McCarthy were in the same cast together in 2011's comedy Bridesmaids. Jamie Fox was supposed to join the project at one point but things didn't work out with that.
