Comedically speaking, actors like Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James and Rob Schneider have turned to Netflix in recent years for creative endeavors.
While the Eurovision Song Contest isn’t as big of a deal in the United States, its popularity internationally could mean that this will be one of the more popular Netflix movies around the globe.
While Netflix’s movies have earned nearly as much positive reception overall as the platform’s TV shows, it has become a haven for cinematic tales that might not have had much success in a traditional theatrical setting.
As for Will Ferrell, he previously sang in Step Brothers and episodes of Saturday Night Live, so whatever Eurovision ends up being specifically about (I’m guessing Ferrell is playing the comical underdog who tries to win the competition even though no one believes he can), at least we won’t have to worry about him not having the vocal chops.
