Watch Wine Country: Now streaming on Netflix

Amy Poehler assembles a cast of comedy heavyweights for her directorial debut Wine Country, and it’s now available to stream on Netflix.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if all your favorite Saturday Night Live performers and comedy writers banded together for one amazing movie? Well, you don’t have to wonder anymore. Parks and Recreation mastermind and national treasure Amy Poehler makes her feature directorial debut with Wine Country, a Netflix comedy she basically used as an excuse to hangout with her friends and gracefully film the whole adventure for her legions of fans. Finally, the film begins streaming worldwide with its premiere on Friday, May 10.

After helming a few episodes of Parks and Rec and Broad City, Poehler officially makes her film directorial debut with Wine Country and also pulls double duty as one of the movie’s stars. Poehler plays Abby, the ringleader of the Napa getaway planned to celebrate the 50th birthday of Rebecca (Rachel Dratch).

"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. A hilarious and heartfelt comedy directed by Poehler, Wine Country co-stars Tina Fey, Jason Schwartzman and Cherry Jones."

Wine Country leads a month full of high-profile releases for Netflix, including the Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini dark comedy series Dead to Me, Zac Efron’s serial killer turn in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Vile and Evil, the bow of Lucifer, and Renée Zellweger’s return in the thriller anthology What/If.
