Irish indie film Handsome Devil starring Andrew Scott comes to Netflix
The rugby-school comedy arrives on July 20
Handsome Devil, an Irish indie film starring Sherlock's Andrew Scott, is coming to Netflix on July 20.
The film initially received a very limited release in UK cinemas earlier this year, and the Netflix deal represents a major coup for the cast and crew, as it will open the film up to a much wider audience.
The announcement was made by director John Butler (who helmed 2013’s The Stag, which also starred Scott) on Twitter.
