Johnny English OTT Release: Get ready to laugh out loud once again with the world’s most hilariously clumsy secret agent.
The beloved comedy film Johnny English, starring the legendary Rowan Atkinson, is heading to streaming platforms, bringing with it a perfect blend of slapstick humor, spy spoofs, and classic British wit.
Johnny English is set to debut on Lionsgate Play starting July 18th, 2025.
Plot
When Britain’s most elite Secret Service operative is tragically killed during a covert mission, it sends shockwaves through the intelligence community. But the situation takes a turn for the absurd when, during the funeral honoring the fallen agent, a catastrophic explosion eliminates the entire upper tier of MI7’s field operatives. In the blink of an eye, the nation’s top spies are gone—leaving behind only one surviving agent: Johnny English.
Utterly unqualified and hopelessly overconfident, Johnny is a desk-bound, low-level bureaucrat with delusions of grandeur and a firm belief in his own nonexistent abilities. With no one else left to take the reins, MI7 reluctantly sends him into action. His mission? To recover the stolen Crown Jewels and thwart a sinister plot threatening the heart of the British monarchy.
Armed with high-tech gadgets he barely understands. Moreover, paired with the far more competent Agent Bough, Johnny dives headfirst into a world of international intrigue. He stumbles through secret lairs, confronts dangerous villains, and misinterprets nearly every clue—yet somehow, in his own chaotic way, manages to stay one step ahead of disaster.
What follows is a riotous, action-packed adventure full of blunders, mistaken identities, and outrageous mishaps. This is all held together by Johnny’s unwavering (and completely misplaced) confidence. The fate of the monarchy hangs in the balance. And the world learns that saving the country might just depend on the most unlikely spy of all.
In addition to Rowan Atkinson’s iconic performance, the film also stars Natalie Imbruglia, Ben Miller, and John Malkovich. Their over-the-top French villain adds a perfect contrast to English’s blundering ways.
