Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds put their own twist on a Dickens classic in the first teaser for Spirited
Octavia Spencer joins Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds in Apple TV+ musical comedy Spirited from director Sean Anders

We’re halfway through October, which means don’t get too comfortable with those Halloween decorations; Christmas is knocking on that door, demanding you start sipping hot cocoa and putting on knit sweaters in 60-degree weather. This year, you can also watch yet another version of Charles Dickens’ holiday classic A Christmas Carol—the first teaser of Apple TV+’s Spirited is here.
In this musical-comedy twist of the haunting Christmas tale, Will Ferrell stars as the Ghost of Christmas Present, visiting Ryan Reynolds’ Scrooge-like Clint Briggs to embark on a journey through his life with the three spirits. As the teaser shows in grand fashion, there will be a lot of intricate musical numbers from La La Land’s Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, but we’ll see if they can even compete with fellow Dickens adaptation A Muppet Christmas Carol and the introductory banger that is “Scrooge.”
