The Lovebirds is officially heading to Netflix on May 22, making the comedy the third major film to head directly to a subscription streaming service after its theatrical release was postponed as a result of the novel coronavirus.
The movie, from Paramount Pictures and MRC, follows a couple (The Big Sick’s Kumail Nanjiani and Insecure’s Issa Rae) that unintentionally becomes entangled in a murder mystery and must clear their names. It was slated to open on April 3 before movie theaters around the country closed down indefinitely in March amid the pandemic.
