Broadway Stages Film Productions You Can Watch From Home

As a premier studio production company in New York City, Broadway Stages provides facilities for myriad television programs and film projects. Several feature films released in the last year or two are now streaming, and a new one is coming very soon. Read on to find out how you can watch these critically acclaimed films.

"No Hard Feelings" (Netflix)

Jennifer Lawrence's raunchy comedy "No Hard Feelings" opened in theaters in June and went on to gross more than $87 million worldwide. The R-rated film received positive reviews from critics and filmgoers alike and is currently the most popular film streaming on Netflix in the United States. We are so proud to play a small part in its success!

The film centers on Maddie (Lawrence), an Uber driver desperate for a paycheck so she can keep her home. She responds to a Craigslist ad posted by a worried mother (Laura Benanti) who wants her shy teenage son (Andrew Barth Feldman) to have a romantic relationship before he goes to college. Matthew Broderick, Hasan Minhaj, Natalie Morales, Scott MacArthur, Kyle Mooney, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach round out the cast.

"Spoiler Alert" (Prime)

In the dramedy "Spoiler Alert," released last December, Jim Parsons ("Big Bang Theory") shows his acting range in his starring role as Michael Ausiello, author of the bestselling memoir "Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies." The memoir chronicles Ausiello's 14-year romance with photographer Kit Cowan, who (spoiler alert!) died of terminal cancer in 2015. The film currently holds a very impressive 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Director Michael Showalter ("The Eyes of Tammy Faye" and "The Big Sick") brings equal parts laughter and tears to the film. The cast also includes Ben Aldridge ("Pennyworth") as Cowan, the legendary Sally Field as his mother, and Bill Irwin ("Legion") as his father.

"Fire Island" (Hulu)

Joel Kim Booster and Bowen Yang star in the Hulu original romantic comedy "Fire Island," a modern retelling of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." The film centers on a group of gay friends who take a trip to New York's Fire Island, a popular vacation destination for members of the LGBTQ community. According to the streaming aggregator Reelgood, "Fire Island" was the sixth most streamed movie across all platforms during the week of June 11, 2022.

"Fire Island" earned two Emmy nominations earlier this year – Outstanding Television Movie and Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. The recent entertainment industry labor strikes have significantly postponed the awards ceremony, so we won't find out how the film fares until January. However, "Fire Island" has already scored significant honors and praise, including a big win at last year's Gotham Awards.

"Genie" (Coming Soon to Peacock)

When most people think of Richard Curtis films set during Christmas, 2003's "Love Actually" typically comes to mind. But more than a decade earlier, the British filmmaker wrote the screenplay for the 1991 made-for-TV film "Bernard and the Genie," about a workaholic art dealer who befriends a genie.

The remake, just called "Genie," will move the story from London to New York City and star Melissa McCarthy as the titular granter of wishes. British actor Paapa Essiedu ("I May Destroy You") co-stars as Bernard, a role originated by Alan Cumming. The holiday film will stream exclusively on Peacock beginning November 22.

We are so excited to see new productions coming to movie theaters, television networks, and streaming platforms, and we are particularly looking forward to seeing the hard work of the cast and crew pay off when "Genie" debuts later this month.
