Jennifer Lopez is officially ready to spin her web on the small screen!
After a theatrical run that flew under the radar for some, J.Lo’s highly anticipated remake of the classic Kiss of the Spider Woman has secured a streaming date. Fans who missed the “Jenny from the Block” singer’s latest transformation in theaters won’t have to wait much longer to see what the buzz is about.
The film is officially set to premiere on Hulu on February , marking a major second chapter for the $ million production.
The project is a star-studded affair, featuring Lopez alongside Andor favorite Diego Luna and breakout star Tonatiuh. Directed by Bill Condon, the story follows Luis Molina (Tonatiuh), who finds himself imprisoned alongside revolutionary Valentin Arregui (Luna).
To survive the grim reality of their cell, Luis escapes into the glamorous world of his favorite movie star, Ingrid Luna—played, of course, by the incomparable J.Lo.
The internet has been divided on the film’s journey so far. While it only grossed $. million worldwide during its October theatrical release, social media is already predicting a massive “streaming surge.”
On X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, fans of Diego Luna are particularly hyped. Many are pointing out the “Andor vibes” of his character, a revolutionary fighting a fascist regime. With Andor Season currently capturing hearts, the crossover appeal is undeniable.
Critics, however, have been much more unified in their praise. The film currently boasts a “Certified Fresh” % score on Rotten Tomatoes.
In a glowing review, Mae Abdulbaki described the movie as “extravagant and intimate, romantic and campy,” even if the balance between political grit and Hollywood fantasy was a tough act to follow.
The marketing for the film heavily highlighted J.Lo’s signature musical talents, which serve as the heartbeat of the movie’s fantasy sequences. For Lopez, who faced early Academy Award buzz following the film’s Sundance debut, this streaming release offers a chance for a much wider audience to see her “raw and dynamic” performance.
While the “Popcornmeter” shows audiences were a bit more divided with a % score, the move to Hulu—and its eventual integration into Disney+—means this “campy” thriller is positioned to become a viral streaming hit.
Whether you’re here for the high-stakes political drama or just to see J.Lo serve iconic looks in a dreamscape, mark your calendars for February .
