Writer-director Aaron Sorkin’s Being the Ricardos will launch on Amazon Prime Video on December 21. Headlined by Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem, the Amazon movie will hit screens in UK and US on December 10, the streamer introduced.

Sorkin’s movie chronicles the connection between Hollywood icon Lucille Ball (Kidman) and Cuban-American actor Desi Arnaz (Bardem), the fabled stars of the basic Fifties American sitcom I Love Lucy. The two icons are threatened by stunning private accusations, a political smear and cultural taboos in movie, billed as a behind-the-scenes drama.

Amazon’s assertion reads, “A revealing glimpse of the couple’s complex romantic and professional relationship, the film takes audiences into the writers’ room, onto the soundstage and behind closed doors with Ball and Arnaz during one critical production week of their groundbreaking sitcom ‘I Love Lucy’.” Being the Ricardos additionally stars Jake Lacy, J K Simmons, Nina Arianda, Tony Hale, and Alia Shawkat.
