Linda Cardellini, Tim Heidecker, Edi Patterson, and Toby Huss have joined the cast of David Gordon Green's Nutcrackers.

Nutcrackers follows the work-obsessed Mike (Ben Stiller), who must reluctantly travel to rural Ohio to look after his four rambunctious nephews after their parents die in a car accident. After run-ins with the local deputy (Tim Heidecker) and misguided attempts to unload the boys on an orphan profiteer (Edi Patterson) and an eccentric empty-nester millionaire (Toby Huss), Mike becomes smitten with social worker Gretchen (Linda Cardellini), who helps him on his journey to find a home for the boys.

Nutcrackers is written by Leland Douglas, while Stiller, John Lesher, Nate Meyer, Rob Paris, and Mike Witherill serve as producers.

Cardellini is known for starring in 1999-2000’s Freaks and Geeks, 2001’s Legally Blonde, 2005’s Brokeback Mountain, and 2019’s The Curse of La Llorona. She also played Velma Dinkley in 2002’s Scooby-Doo and 2004’s Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed and stars as Laura Barton in the MCU.

Heidecker is best known as a comedian who frequently works with Eric Wareheim. He’s appeared in movies such as 2011’s Bridesmaids, 2012’s Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie, 2019’s Us, and more.
