Amy Schumer’s Kinda Pregnant is her first comedy movie in seven years, and it’s now streaming on Netflix. Amy Schumer was one of the biggest comedic actors of the 2010s. She starred in several prominent comedies, like Trainwreck, Snatched, and I Feel Pretty, but the comedian hasn’t been as active in movies since 2018. While she did release a comedy special, Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact in 2023, Schumer’s most recent major comedy movie didn’t come until 2025, and it’s now streaming on Netflix.

Schumer’s return to comedy films came in Kinda Pregnant, which was added to Netflix on February 5. While only three reviews are available so far on Rotten Tomatoes, Kinda Pregnant has not been received well. Despite its underwhelming reception, Kinda Pregnant is still a good sign for Schumer. Depending on how well audiences like Kinda Pregnant and how much they watch it, the movie could be the first of many Schumer makes with Netflix. She’s already produced several comedy specials for the streaming service, and her partnership with Netflix may continue to grow after Kinda Pregnant.

Amy Schumer’s Kinda Pregnant Is Now Streaming On Netflix – What The Movie Is About

Schumer Plays Lainy Newton, A Woman Who Lies About Being Pregnant For Attention

Now, after seven years, Amy Schumer’s new movie Kinda Pregnant is streaming on Netflix. Schumer leads the cast of Kinda Pregnant as Lainy, a woman who gets jealous of her best friend, Kate (Jillian Bell), announcing her pregnancy. After dumping her boyfriend Dave (Damon Wayans Jr.) when she thought he would propose, she decides to start a fake pregnancy to take attention away from the breakup and fulfill her lifelong goal of becoming a mother. Unfortunately, Lainy finds the man of her dreams in Josh (Will Forte) and has to find a way to keep her lie from being exposed before the ending of Kinda Pregnant.

Kinda Pregnant Is Amy Schumer’s First Lead Role In A Comedy Since 2018

Schumer’s Last Leading Comedic Role Was In 2018’s I Feel Pretty

While it has been seven years since Amy Schumer starred in a comedic movie – her last was in 2018’s I Feel Pretty, where she played Renee Bennett – she hasn’t been completely inactive. In fact, Schumer has had a huge number of projects since 2018, just not any in leading comedic film roles. She made cameo appearances on a number of shows like Saturday Night Live, Only Murders in the Building, and Crashing. Schumer also took several supporting roles in comedic movies like Unfrosted, IF, and Bros, and she even appeared in a dramatic film, 2021’s The Humans, which received resounding critical acclaim.

The main reason Amy Schumer hasn’t had a lead role in a comedic movie since 2018, however, is because she’s been busy with television instead. Since 2018, Schumer has starred in Inside Amy Schumer season 5, which came back after a six-year hiatus, as well as in Life and Beth, which she starred in alongside Michael Cera. Schumer actually wrote, produced, and directed Life and Beth, which had its second and final season in 2024. No matter whether the future holds more comedic movies for Amy Schumer, Kinda Pregnant is a great choice for what to stream on Netflix next.
