Bros, the hotly anticipated romantic comedy starring Billy Eichner , has cast the other half of its central couple.

On Wednesday, Deadline reported that Luke Macfarlane had signed on to star opposite Eichner in the movie, which is being billed as the first gay rom-com to be released by a major studio.

Bros will be directed by Nicholas Stoller, who also co-wrote the script with Eichner, and produced by Judd Apatow. According to press notes , the movie will center around two men who have commitment problems and are attempting a relationship.

Filming on Bros was originally slated to take place in upstate New York in April 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

MacFarlane is best known for playing Scotty Wandell on the ABC series Brothers & Sisters . In 2017 he appeared in the horror film Rock, Paper, Scissors, and has recently starred in a series of Hallmark Christmas movies, including last years Chateau Christmas .
