Becky Lynch, known widely as “The Man” in professional wrestling, has recently joined the cast of an F/X comedy pilot titled Movers. This news comes as Lynch continues to maintain momentum in her wrestling career following her return at WrestleMania 41 after a year-long break. While she remains a dominant figure in WWE, including holding the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, Lynch is simultaneously expanding her presence in Hollywood.
Details About the Upcoming Comedy Pilot ‘Movers’
Movers is a workplace comedy featuring improvisational elements, developed by some of the creators behind the cult series Reno 911!. The show centers on a group of movers dealing with chaotic and dependent relationships among themselves. Robert Ben Garant and Cathy Shim, both with ties to Reno 911!, lead the cast. Alongside Becky Lynch, other co-stars include Maz Jobrani, Darius Homayoun, Tanael “TJ” Joachim, and Manny Montana. The pilot has been greenlit by F/X, with the network set to decide on ordering a full series based on its reception.
How Lynch’s Acting Pursuits May Affect Her Wrestling Schedule
Although Lynch’s involvement in the pilot marks a clear step into television comedy, it is expected that filming will not significantly interfere with her wrestling commitments. Nonetheless, if Movers moves from pilot to series, the potential impact on her WWE activities remains uncertain. As Deadline reports,
“it’s unknown what that will mean for her wrestling career.”
Expanding Career Footprint Beyond Wrestling
In addition to Movers, Becky Lynch is set to appear in the upcoming Netflix film Happy Gilmore 2, releasing later this month, and has a role in Paramount+’s upcoming series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Her ability to navigate between acting and wrestling signals a significant diversification of her career, allowing her to explore new opportunities in entertainment while maintaining her status in the wrestling world.
