▲'Spaced' was created by Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson. Edgar Wright directed the show, while Nick Frost co-starred.

▲Edgar Wright created the series, which starred Simon Pegg and Julian Barratt (pictured).

▲The first official collaboration was between Pegg and Wright on comedy series 'Asylum.'

▲'Shaun of the Dead' was written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. Frost starred alongside Pegg, playing two friends who get caught up in a zombie apocalypse.

▲Frost and Pegg would later appear in 'The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn,' directed by Steven Spielberg.

▲The duo played Thompson and Thompson, two dopey detectives who seem identical. Wright also co-wrote the hit film.

▲After 'Shaun of the Dead,' Pegg was reportedly asked if he'd abandon the UK for Hollywood. "Well, I'm not about to go and star in 'Mission: Impossible III'," he apparently replied.

▲Pegg has gone on to appear in many hit sci-fi films, like 'Star Trek' (2009), 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' (2015), and 'Ready Player One' (2018).

▲Little did Pegg know that he would become a Hollywood star. In 2006, he appeared in 'Mission: Impossible III,' and returned in the following films in the franchise.

▲Pegg and Frost did something a little different with 'Paul.' They swapped roles, with Frost taking over as the lead. What's more, Edgar Wright was not involved.

▲The film follows Pegg as Gary King, who persuades his school friends to do a pub crawl in their hometown.

Things go west when aliens invade the town, causing hysteria and compromising the all-important pub crawl.

▲For his part, Edgar Wright has done plenty of work without Pegg and Frost. In 2010, he directed 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,' an action comedy.

▲The comedy was set in America, and starred Seth Rogen as an alcoholic alien who befriends two sci-fi nerds.

▲He also wrote and directed 'Baby Driver,' a thriller comedy that starred Ansel Elgort and Lily James.

▲Frost is also a popular actor with plenty of experience away from Wright and Pegg. One of his more famous roles was in 'Snow White and the Huntsman' (2012).

▲Wright was also heavily involved in Marvel's 'Ant-Man.' Wright co-wrote the story before stepping down as director.

▲The actor also starred in 'Tomb Raider' and 'The Festival' in 2018, along with films like 'Unfinished Business' (2015) and 'Monster Family' (2017).

▲Frost has also led a successful career on the small screen, starring in series like 'Sick Note' and 'Into the Badlands' in 2017-18.

'Shaun of the Dead' was another success, and it led to a world of opportunity for the three.

As their careers take them in new directions, the collaborations have been fewer in recent years, but you can always count on them. Comedy horror film 'Slaughterhouse Rulez' (2018) included Pegg and Frost in the cast, but did not involve Wright. The 2020 supernatural comedy horror series 'Truth Seekers' starred and was co-created by Pegg and Frost, but again didn't see Wright involved. But the 2021 documentary film 'The Sparks Brothers' saw the three somewhat reunite. Directed by Wright, it featured Pegg voicing John Lennon and Frost voicing Ringo Starr.
