Netflix summer movie lineup includes delayed Amy Adams thriller and a gender-swapped She's All That

Netflix remains committed to its promise of serving you one new movie every week in 2021. Some might say this schedule is oppressive, and to those people we might say okay, but some of us find a consistent and reliable schedule to be quite the comfort in these times, which remain—in the language of the Brands—uncertain. And sure, not every new movie can be a wild thriller starring Kristin Davis, or an Oscar-winning doc about the unlikely friendship between a man and the cutest lil octopus you ever did see, but coming upon those gems is part of the streaming journey. If nothing else, the much-delayed and fussed-over Amy Adams thriller The Woman In The Window is going to be a moment, whether it’s actually, surprisingly good, or utter melodramatic garbáge—whatever it is will inevitably be better than The Girl On The Train.

Also included in Netflix’s summer offerings: the gender-swapped She’s All That remake, He’s All That, starring Addison Rae (of TikTok); thrillers starring Jason Momoa, John David Washington, and Mélanie Laurent; an animated comedy depicting a revisionist American history in which Channing Tatum voices George Washington; and a happy (maybe????) little documentary about Bob Ross that does not yet have a specific release date, but hopefully Netflix will give us one soon because we’ll need time to prepare for that one.
