“The Lovebirds”: Netflix Sets a Premiere Date

As we reported last month, Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani‘s romantic comedy The Lovebirds, originally set for an April theatrical release, went straight to Netflix with no set release date. To our excitement, earlier this morning, the streaming giant has finally announced it. The viewers will have a chance to witness the hilarious duo in action on Friday, May 22!

Here’s the official synopsis for The Lovebirds:

A couple (Rae and Nanjiani) experiences a defining moment in their relationship when they are unintentionally embroiled in a murder mystery. As their journey to clear their names takes them from one extreme – and hilarious – circumstance to the next, they must figure out how they, and their relationship, can survive the night.
