It also stars Evan Rachel Wood as  Madonna, Rainn Wilson as pioneer comedic radio host and the discoverer of Yankovic, Dr. Demento, Julianne Nicholson as Yankovic’s mother Mary, and Toby Huss as the musician’s father, Nick.

The biopic is written by Yankovic and Appel. It will explore every facet of the musician's life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like “Eat It” and “Like a Surgeon” to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle.

Appel serves as director and an executive producer.

Yankovic also produces alongside Mike Farah, Joe Farrell, Whitney Hodack for Funny Or Die, and Tim Headington, Lia Buman, and Max Silva for Tango.

Funny Or Die’s Henry Muñoz III and Tango’s Neil Shah will also serve as executive producers.

“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”  will premiere exclusively on The Roku Channel.
