“After Yang” Gets Streaming Date

Irish actor Colin Farrell‘s sci-fi movie “After Yang” is coming to streaming shortly after its March theatrical release.

It is set to be released in Blu-ray and DVD collection as well as streamed on-demand on June 21.

The movie is based on the short story “Saying Goodbye to Yang” by Alexander Weinstein. It is set in a world where robots are purchased as live-in babysitters for children.

The movie focuses on married couple Jake (Farrell) and Kyra (Jodie Turner-Smith) who purchase Yang (Justin H. Min) as a babysitter for their adopted daughter Mika (Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja).

As Yang begins to malfunction, Jake embarks on a journey to fix him and in the process discovers a gap between him and his family that he didn’t realize existed.
