Time’s Running Out to Stream Bridesmaids On Netflix

by

One of the decade’s funniest comedies, Bridesmaids, came out in May 2011. If you’re a fan of Paul Feig’s hilarious film, you’ll need to watch it before the end of the year, as it’s leaving the streaming service soon.

The popular comedy Bridesmaids will no longer be available on Netflix after January 1, 2026. The film earned Oscar nominations for its stars Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, who played Annie and Megan. Wiig also co-wrote the script with Annie Mumolo. The movie’s cast included Maya Rudolph, Rebel Wilson, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper, Rose Byrne, and Chris O’Dowd.

This movie, released in the 2010s, centers around Annie, who is struggling with some personal challenges when her best friend, Lillian, gets engaged. Annie finds herself competing with Helen, a wealthy newcomer, for the role of maid of honor and the chance to plan the wedding, but Helen has very specific ideas about how things should be done.

When Bridesmaids came out, it was a huge hit, making over $324.8 million globally on a $32.5 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo. It also received positive reviews, with an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Because of its success, fans have been asking for a sequel for over ten years.

Bridesmaids Director Addresses Sequel

Feig discussed the possibility of making a sequel, explaining it’s tricky to do well. He believes the original film’s success comes from its combination of humor and the serious personal struggles faced by Kristen Wiig’s character. He finds it amusing how many people express interest in a sequel without fully considering the challenges involved.

She ends the story successfully, and we don’t want to put her through another huge personal struggle in a sequel. A big, fun wedding could be a good option. We’d definitely consider a sequel if a fantastic script came along, but it’s also appealing to leave the story as it is, Feig explained.

Paul Feig’s newest film, starring Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, The Housemaid, premiered in theaters on December 19th and received positive reviews, earning an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes. As of that same day, the film held a 78% rating on the site, based on 103 reviews from critics.
