John Cena and Alison Brie’s Film ‘Freelance’ Returns to German TV

The 2023 action‑comedy Freelance, directed by Pierre Morel, stars John Cena as Mason Petit and Alison Brie as journalist Claire Wellington. The plot follows an ex‑special‑forces operative who, after a failed assassination attempt on a dictator, takes a desk job before being hired to protect the journalist during a risky interview.

Although the film received mixed reviews and did not match the commercial success of Morel’s earlier Taken series, German broadcaster ProSieben has scheduled a repeat airing during a prime‑time slot, highlighting its “raunchy humor” and the star power of its leads.
