Here's what to know about the hilarious release.

As Netflix teased, the film will follow Wilson as she decides to head back to high school and pick back up where she left off. The only issue is that she's twenty years older than her peers... We're not embarrassed to admit that we've rewatched this hilarious trailer multiple times to keep us going till the release date. "Everybody else has gotten to go on and live their lives, and what? I'm supposed to just jump forward? I mean, I just found out there are eight more Fast & Furious movies!" her character jokes. "I wanna go back to school, finish my senior year. ... High school was just like yesterday for me, it won't be weird." Rocking her iconic outfits from the 2000s and strolling through the school's corridors, she discovers high school is a whole new experience nowadays. How will she navigate this?
