Pregnancy comes with its fair share of complications, emotions, and struggles – but also a few perks. People tend to be extra nice, give up their seat on public transport, or let you have the last cookie. Amy Schumer’s 2025 Netflix comedy Kinda Pregnant explores what happens when a woman straps on a fake belly and pretends to be pregnant – maybe for the perks, or perhaps to avoid feeling left out as her friends all seem to be expecting babies at the same time.
Directed by Tyler Spindel and written by Amy Schumer and Julie Paiva, the trailer for Kinda Pregnant opens with a shopkeeper complimenting Lainy Newton (Amy Schumer) and handing her a free apple, saying, “Looking good, Mommy.” Lainy revels in the compliments about her glow and energy, but how long can she keep up the act?
The comedy also stars Jillian Bell, Brianne Howey, Lizze Broadway, and Urzila Carlson as Lainy’s friends – most of whom are genuinely pregnant. Only one of them knows she’s lying. From attending prenatal classes and yoga sessions to even going on dates, Lainy fully commits to her fake pregnancy, but the lies soon begin to catch up with her.
Based on the trailer, Kinda Pregnant doesn’t appear to be riotously funny, but it does pack a few laughs. If the creators haven’t crammed all the best bits into the trailer, it might make for a fun weekend watch with friends.
Kinda Pregnant premieres on Netflix on February 5th. You can check out the trailer on YouTube, or watch it embedded below.
