The Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae comedy The Lovebirds is the first movie to land at Netflix. The feature from Paramount marks the first time that a studio movie loses its theatrical release and will head straight to a streaming platform. 

News of a digital launch rather than a theatrical release isn’t much of a surprise, with movies now heading into the home faster than ever before including Sonic the Hedgehog, The Invisible Man, Onward, I Still Believe, Bloodshot, The Hunt, Emma, Birds of Prey and more. 

The Lovebirds, directed by Michael Showalter, follows Nanjiani and Rae as a couple who experience a defining moment in their relationship when they are unintentionally embroiled in a murder mystery.

Multiple outlets confirm that The Big Sick star has been cast in The Independent. According to Variety, he will portray a journalist who uncovers a conspiracy, which places the fate of the election in his hands with America’s first viable independent presidential candidate poised for victory.

The project hails from Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker Amy Rice, and scribe Evan Parter. The Exchange will introduce the political thriller to buyers at the European Film Market in Berlin.

“Kumail is a great actor with global recognition and he serves as the cornerstone for an incredible ensemble cast that we are excited to announce shortly,” said Brian O’Shea of The Exchange.
