Pour some out for the Netflix algorithm, which apparently realized what people really want is to see Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey, and Ana Gasteyer bring some Saturday Night Live laughs to the streaming giant.
Coming May 10 is Wine Country, a new comedy directed by Poehler (her feature film debut) from a script by Spivey (Up All Night) and Liz Cackowski (co-creator of the absolutely hilarious Jeannie Tate Show) that stars the funny women as a group of friends celebrating the 50th birthday of one of their pals in Napa Valley with bottles and bottles (and bottles) of wine. Jason Schwartzman and Cherry Jones costar.
Here’s how Netflix describes the “hilarious and heartfelt” comedy: “In honor of Rebecca (Rachel Dratch)’s 50th birthday, Abby (Amy Poehler) plans a scenic Napa getaway with their best, longtime friends. Workaholic Catherine (Ana Gasteyer), post-op Val (Paula Pell), homebody Jenny (Emily Spivey), and weary mom Naomi (Maya Rudolph) are equally sold on the chance to relax and reconnect. Yet as the alcohol flows, real world uncertainties intrude on the punchlines and gossip, and the women begin questioning their friendships and futures.”
Wine Country will receive a cursory theatrical release on May 8 before hitting Netflix on May 10. Plan a viewing party accordingly.
