The family comedy My Spy has found its streaming home. The STX-owned film was originally scheduled to debut in theaters April 17, and will now be coming to Amazon’s Prime Video for exclusive streaming after it was picked up by Amazon Studios. A streaming release date for My Spy has yet to be announced, but the film is moving to a different platform at a time when movie theaters in the U.S. are closed due to the coronavirus.

My Spy stars Dave Bautista as JJ, a CI.A. operative who has to teach his surveillance skills to a 9-year-old girl, Sophie (Chloe Coleman). JJ was sent to go undercover and observe her family as part of a mission, but Sophie finds JJ’s hidden cameras in her apartment and confronts him. After she catches him spying on her family, Sophie blackmails JJ into agreeing to teach her how to become a spy herself. My Spy also stars Kristen Schaal, Parisa Fitz-Henley, Chloe Coleman, Ken Jeong and Devere Rogers. The new family-friendly movie comes from Peter Segal, the director of another spy-themed feature, Get Smart. It was written by brothers Jon and Erich Hoeber.

The shift from theatrical releases to streaming has been happening gradually over the past month as the coronavirus pandemic keeps audiences inside and theater doors closed. Onward, Trolls World Tour, Sonic The Hedgehog, The Invisible Man, Bloodshot and I Still Believe all moved to streaming platforms to accommodate viewers at home. Recently, it was announced by studios that films like Artemis Fowl and Lovebirds will be foregoing their theatrical releases and premiering on streaming platforms exclusively, instead. While viewers in the U.S. didn’t get to see My Spy in theaters, it did have a brief run internationally, where it raked in $4.4M.

You can catch My Spy on Prime Video when its release date is announced.
