You People is a romantic comedy about two very different Los Angelos, Ezra Cohen (Jonah Hill) and and Amira Mohammed (Lauren London), who fall in love after a rideshare mix-up brings them together. After connecting due to their shared love of streetwear and music the pair fall in love. Unfortunately their relationship is tested by their families. Ezra’s progressive but try-hard Jewish parents (Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny) are at times tone deaf and overbearing. Meanwhile Amira’s Muslim upbringing and very pro-Black parents Eddie Murphy and Nia Long aren’t exactly overjoyed about the match.

You People arrives on Netflix January 27
