Whitney Houston’s life story has been told many times over in made-for-TV specials and limited series over the years, but I Wanna Dance With Somebody, starring Naomi Ackie, promises to be different and will be soon released on Netflix.
The first trailers were released in late 2022, and the film landed in theaters last week. Now, Netflix will release the biopic movie on its streaming platform.
Written by Anthony McCarten, ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ has been directed by Kasi Lemmons. The movie stars Naomi Ackie, Stanley Tucci, Ashton Sanders, Tamara Tunie, Nafessa Williams, and Clarke Peters.

According to What’s on Netflix, the new biopic, which hopes to be tracing the footsteps of Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocket Man in reliving the musical career of Whitney Houston, will head to the service on April 22nd, 2023.
Keeping with the first window deal Netflix struck in 2021 and began in 2022, for all Sony Pictures movies, the biopic will first be released on Netflix US. If not on the expected April date, by the absolute latest, the movie will be available on Netflix US by June 2023.
Other Sony Pictures movies set to release on Netflix in 2023 include The Woman King, Devotion, and Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile.
