When is The Son starring Hugh Jackman coming to Netflix?

The Son is a 2022 film that tells the story of a father (Hugh Jackman) forming a relationship with his son (Zen McGrath). The relationship, however, is far from smooth sailing, as they haven’t been in one another’s life from the very beginning, being that his divorce from his ex-wife wasn’t exactly cordial. Even so, he sets out to make things right by learning the ins and outs of his child in an attempt to make up for lost time.

Read more of the plot via Sony Pictures Classics below:

"A couple of years after his parents’ divorce, 17-year-old Nicholas no longer feels he can stay with his mother, Kate. He moves in with his father Peter and Peter’s new partner Beth. Juggling work, his and Beth’s new baby, and the offer of his dream job in Washington, Peter tries to care for Nicholas as he wishes his own father had cared for him. But by reaching for the past to correct its mistakes, he loses sight of how to hold onto the Nicholas in the present."
