Trailer for Jo Koy’s New Movie, ‘Easter Sunday,’ Is Out

Jo Koy is one of the top stand-up comedians who has three Netflix specials under his belt, with a fourth Netflix special underway. Last week during CinemaCon, the comic made an appearance at the Universal Pictures presentation and made the audience filled with exhibitors laugh out loud as he talked about his mom, poking fun of his fellow presenter, and more. He was there to show off the new trailer for his upcoming film, Easter Sunday, which takes place in a day and follows a Filipino American family. Today, the trailer has dropped online for everyone to see.

Jo Koy’s Easter Sunday is the first studio film to focus on a Filipino American family, and the trailer dropped during Asian American and Pacific Islander History Month.
