What Is Netflix Movie Roommates About?

Roommates follows Devon, a naive college freshman, who asks the cool and confident Celeste to be her roommate. Their friendship starts strong but quickly spirals into passive-aggressive clashes. Sadie Sandler’s Devon is socially awkward, and she’s trying to find her group. But the friendship soon finds the cracks in the wall.

The movie explores how roommates can become either your closest friends or your greatest challenges. In an interview with Teen Vogue, director Chandler Levack calls the movie a “super funny and honest investigation of the first year of college.” Levack said,

I really loved that it was this super funny, honest investigation of first year of college, [when] there aren’t a lot of coming-of-age movies about your first year of college. It really is a super bizarre time in your life where you’re leaving your family for the very first time, you’re trying to define yourself outside of everyone you’ve ever known and reinvent yourself, but you’re also terrified and socially awkward and thrust into adulthood.

The soundtrack also includes Charli XCX’s girl, so confusing, which exactly matches the vibe of the movie.

Roommates will premiere on April 17, 2026, on Netflix (US).
