Saturday Night Live may be back, but more weirdo-filmed sketches aren’t the only thing you have to look forward to when it comes to Please Don’t Destroy. PDD, SNL’s golden sketch trio, are going on a hunt for gold in an upcoming buddy comedy for Universal Pictures out November 17 on Peacock. The group’s members, Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, wrote and are starring in Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain as “three childhood friends who live and work together,” decide they don’t like their lives, and “set off to find a gold treasure that is rumored to be buried in the nearby mountain.” This mountain is presumably foggy. Joining the boys on this (mis)adventure are their SNL co-worker Bowen Yang, Conan O’Brien, Meg Stalter, comedian X Mayo, and Superstore’s Nichole Sakura. John Goodman is narrating, Judd Apatow is producing, and veteran comedy director Paul Briganti — best known for his work on SNL — is our director.

In the first trailer for the film, PDD resident redhead Ben Marshall’s dad is played by a very disappointed Conan O’Brien. Now, that may be because Marshall’s the only one with red hair, or it might be because he’s the only one whose real-life dad never worked for SNL. Who can say? Based on the trailer, we can confirm that the film keeps the sketch trio’s intentionally stupid/surrealist tone, with portals, cults, and a description of Marshall as “a colonial ghost.” The film marks the trio’s debut movie following their rise to prominence via viral sketches on social media before breaking out on SNL. Perhaps now that they are about to become bona fide movie stars, they’ll no longer have to suffer the fate of being “Three Sad Virgins.”
