Ladies First 2026

Overview

Ladies First is a 2026 American comedy film directed by Thea Sharrock and distributed by Netflix. The film is inspired by the 2018 French production I Am Not an Easy Man, directed by Éléonore Pourriat. The story follows an arrogant and charismatic ladies' man whose life defined by money, power, and casual flings is suddenly interrupted. After sustaining a head injury, the protagonist wakes up in a parallel world dominated by women. In this reversed society, the gender dynamics are flipped, leaving men to struggle as women hold positions of authority. The cast of the film features Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike, with additional performances by Tom Davis and Emily Mortimer. The satirical comedy explores these gender-swapped circumstances as the lead character navigates his new reality. The film was released in the spring of 2026, with reviews appearing in major publications by late May of that same year. It serves as a high-concept look at gender roles through a comedic lens.
