A Story Rooted in Sisterhood
The Women Like Us Netflix movie follows a recently widowed woman whose sister and lifelong best friends surprise her with a getaway to the Hamptons during what would have been her 30th wedding anniversary.

At its core, the film reminds audiences that it’s never too late to embrace joy, pursue new dreams, and lean on the people who know you best.
A Stellar Creative Team
The film will be directed by Tasha Smith, whose directing credits include acclaimed television dramas and comedies.
The screenplay is written by Ali Kinney, with additional contributions from Tracy Oliver, the writer behind Girls Trip. Michelle Obama also serves as an executive producer on the project.
Production is expected to begin in New York City this fall, with a release date still to be announced.
