Here’s everything new on Netflix this month-and everything set to leave the streaming platform. The unexpected task of raising a ten-year-old boy provides some laughs, drama and heartfelt moments. Another stage production gets the film treatment with Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, an August Wilson play-turned-feature drama that stars Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman in one of his final onscreen roles. Gay couple Erasmus and Paul are suddenly thrown into family life when one finds out they have a grandson. Directed by Ryan Murphy, the project boasts a star-studded cast that includes Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Kerry Washington. This Broadway adaptation follows four struggling actors as they travel to the conservative town of Edgewater, Indiana, to help. The original, an Off-Broadway play from 1968, was revived and put on Broadway. A plethora of movie options are also hitting the streaming platform this month, including The Prom, a Netflix original based on the 2018 Broadway musical of the same name. The trajectory of The Boys in the Band is one of the most beautiful parts to the story.
