Overview

• The biopic premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival this week, accompanied by a final trailer and press events.
• It begins streaming on September 19 on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally.
• Lily James stars as Whitney Wolfe Herd and takes her first feature producing credit on the project.
• The film dramatizes Wolfe Herd’s departure from Tinder and the founding of Bumble; she did not participate due to a settlement NDA, with filmmakers relying on public-domain sources.
• Critics commend James’s work but say the film soft-pedals deeper tech and ethics questions, with the cast also featuring Dan Stevens as investor Andrey Andreev.
