Ben Stiller is preparing to play the TRILLOS in Three Identical Strangers

Ben Stiller is gearing up to play the three identical triplets in a new limited series adaptation of the 2018 documentary Three Identical Strangers.

Sony Pictures Television is behind the new show, where Stiller, 57, will play Bobby Shafran, David Kellman and Eddy Galland, three identical triplets who were separated at birth and reunited as adults, according to Variety.

The project marks one of his first major acting roles in several years, coming just days after a sneak peek at his new Pepsi Super Bowl ad with Steve Martin.

The new limited series will be adapted from the 2018 documentary Three Identical Strangers, which told the true story of Bobby Shafran, David Kellman and Eddy Galland, identical triplets who were separated at birth and all adopted by different families.

Shafran first found out he had these brothers he never knew about in 1980 as a 19-year-old on the campus of a New York community college, when he was frequently greeted as another student, Eddy Galland.

Documentary: The new limited series will be adapted from the 2018 documentary Three Identical Strangers, which told the true story of Bobby Shafran, David Kellman and Eddy Galland, identical triplets who were separated at birth and all adopted by different families.

They both met and realized that they were both adopted and realized that they were twin brothers.

Her story was widely reported when it reached David Kellman, who had a similar adoption story when they found out the twins were actually identical triplets.

They became media darlings for a while, frequently appearing on shows like The Phil Donohue Show, moved in together, and opened a restaurant called Triplets Roumanian Steakhouse.

While the adoption agency initially claimed they were separated due to difficulty finding a family to take care of the triplets, it was eventually revealed that they were intentionally separated and placed in different families, one blue-collar, one middle-class, and another affluent, as part of a study that was never fully disclosed to parents.

Stiller will play the three triplets as adults in the new series, which will be written by Amy Lippman (Party of Five).

Lippman will also serve as showrunner and executive producer, with Stiller serving as executive producer through his Red Hour Films banner.

SK Global’s Sidney Kimmel, John Penotti, Charlie Corwin and Marcy Ross are also executive producers along with RAW’s Piers Vellacott, Dimitri Doganis and Tim Wardle, who directed the documentary, and Emmeline Yang Hankins.

SK Global’s Mark O’Connor, Submarine’s Dan Braun and Josh Braun would serve as co-executive producers.
