The First Trailer for Netflix’s ‘Wine Country’ Is Here—and It’s Hilarious
When news broke that Amy Poehler would be making her directorial debut with the Netflix comedy Wine Country, I could barely contain my excitement—especially after finding out she hired some of her best SNL girlfriends for the cast. The first trailer for the movie dropped on Thursday, April 11, and it’s everything I could’ve imagined and more.
Wine Country follows Poehler’s character, Abby, as she tries to plan a classy Napa getaway for her friend Rebecca (Rachel Dratch), who’s turning 50. She invites her longtime squad along for the ride, which includes comedy heavy hitters like Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey, and Cherry Jones. (Tina Fey also makes an appearance.) It’s essentially just a movie about your favorite SNL women getting tipsy on wine while on vacation, and I’m 100 percent here for it.
Check out the trailer for yourself, below. It’s serving some major Girls’ Trip vibes.
Based on this trailer, it seems these women are going to get into some serious Bridesmaids-esque shenanigans. In just the few short scenes we see, Maya Rudolph gives us a drunk serenade (and falls off the piano), Ana Gasteyer pulls out a bag of drugs, and the rest of the cast all rolls down a hill in unison. According to the film’s tagline, though, “as the alcohol flows, real world uncertainties intrude on the punch lines and gossip, and the women begin questioning their friendships and futures.” As long as all of them are friends again before the hangovers kick in, I’m OK.
Wine Country will debut May 10 on Netflix, so be sure to save a bottle of wine (or three) for the occasion. I seriously can’t wait to watch these women drink chardonnay for two hours.
