Merv is depressed as Russ and Anna break up. So, he does everything in his power to bring his parents back together. This is the trailer for Merv, an upcoming Prime Video rom-com, unveiled by the streamer on Wednesday. The film stars Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox in lead roles.
After Anna (Zooey Deschanel) and Russ (Charlie Cox) break up, Merv, their dog, is very depressed and distant. A veterinarian doctor diagnoses that their breakup is the cause for its depression.
