What happens when a harmless fib spirals hilariously out of control? Welp, Netflix’s upcoming comedy Kinda Pregnant has the answer, and it’s a bellyful of laughs—fake baby bump included. Set to stream on February 5th, this quirky comedy directed by Tyler Spindel (The Out-Laws) and starring Amy Schumer promises an outrageous ride through the tangled web of envy, deception, and unexpected romance.
The Premise: A Lie Too Big To Handle
In Kinda Pregnant, Schumer stars as Lainy, a woman grappling with a bout of jealousy over her best friend’s pregnancy. In a moment of impulsive insecurity, Lainy dons a fake baby bump—a decision that leads her down a path of hilariously awkward encounters and a budding relationship with her dream guy. But as with all tall tales, the bigger the lie, the harder it is to keep under wraps.
“Did you ever tell, like, such a big lie, you don’t know how to get out of it?” Schumer asks in the trailer, perfectly encapsulating the chaos to come. Her predicament is only amplified by sharp remarks and hilariously fierce commentary from her friends, including one memorable confrontation: “How dare you walk around with that fake fucking belly? What if someone you know catches you with it?”
An Impressive Comedic Cast to Keep You Laughing
The film’s ensemble cast ensures no shortage of comedic brilliance. Jillian Bell (Brittany Runs a Marathon), Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth), Damon Wayans Jr. (Happy Endings), Brianne Howey (Ginny & Georgia), Alex Moffat (Saturday Night Live), and Lizze Broadway (Gen V) round out the hilarious crew, with standouts like Joel David Moore (Avatar), Urzila Carlson (Overqualified Loser), and Francis Benhamou (South Mountain) adding extra layers of charm.
Behind the Scenes: A Recipe For Comedy Gold
Kinda Pregnant is crafted by comedic heavyweights. The script, co-written by Amy Schumer and Julie Paiva, captures Schumer’s signature blend of sharp wit and relatable absurdity. Spindel, known for Netflix hits like The Wrong Missy and Father of the Year, brings his signature style for situational comedy to the director’s chair.
The production lineup reads like a dream team, with Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison crew consisting of Tim Herlihy, Judit Maull, Kevin Grady, and Eli Thomas steering the ship alongside producers Molly Sims of Something Happy Productions and Alex Saks of Saks Picture Company.
Schumer’s Legacy in Comedy
Amy Schumer has built an impressive resume in both film and television, balancing laugh-out-loud moments with endearing vulnerability. From box-office successes like Trainwreck and I Feel Pretty to her acclaimed series Inside Amy Schumer, she continues to prove herself as a powerhouse of comedic storytelling. Recent ventures like Only Murders in the Building and Life & Beth demonstrate her range, while her collaboration with Sandler’s Happy Madison promises a new chapter in her comedic legacy.

With its razor-sharp humor, awkwardly relatable moments, and an ensemble cast delivering comedic gold, Kinda Pregnant is set to be Netflix’s next comedy hit. It’s not just a story about jealousy and deception—it’s a hilarious exploration of self-discovery, friendship, and how sometimes the most ridiculous mistakes can lead to life’s greatest surprises.
