My Spy Heads to Amazon Prime Video Instead of Movie Theaters Amid Shutdowns

Action comedy is first theatrical release that will debut on a streamer instead due to COVID-19 crisis

Amazon Studios has scooped up the rights to stream the movie My Spy, the company announced today. The acquisition makes the David Bautista action comedy the first film intended for a 2020 theatrical release that will instead debut on a subscription streaming service after its premiere was canceled in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

My Spy follows Baustista as JJ, an undercover CIA operative who finds himself having to work alongside Sophie, a precocious 9-year-old who has discovered JJ’s identity and has requested he teach her to become a spy herself.
