Posted by on

Bob Marley is coming home tomorrow. Paramount+ announced Thursday that Paramount’s biopic about the reggae singer, Bob Marley: One Love will arrive on the platform on Friday, April 12 in the United States and Canada, with international availability not quite ready and will be announced at a later date.

Directed by King Richard director Reinaldo Marcus Green, the film stars Kingsley Ben-Adir, Lashana Lynch and James Norton celebrating the life and music of an icon who “inspired generations through his message of love, peace and unity, the film tells Marley’s incredible story of overcoming adversity and the journey behind his revolutionary music that changed the world”. One Love began its theatrical run on Valentine’s Day, setting new records as a music biopic domestically, as well as in the United Kingdom, France and other territories, and had the all-time biggest opening in Jamaica. Its streaming arrival comes with nearly two weeks more of a theatrical run than Paramount has given most of its theatrical slate lately. It will be day 58 as opposed to the 45 days and a Tuesday streaming date adhered to by the other films.

Bob Marley: One Love is written by Terence Winter, one-time showrunner on Paramount+ series Tulsa King, & Frank E. Flowers and Zach Baylin & Reinaldo Marcus Green, the script stemmed from a story by Winter & Flowers. The film has great involvement from Marley’s family, with widow Rita, son Ziggy, and daughter Cedella producing with Robert Teitel, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner, while Ziggy’s wife Orly is an executive producer with Brad Pitt, Richard Hewitt, and Matt Solodky.
