Catching Feelings is a Netflix Original from South Africa that's now available for streaming on May 18, 2018. Here’s what you need to know about the movie before and after diving in including the cast list and movie soundtrack.

Although we can’t say it’s the first South African Netflix Original given that Trevor Noah released his standup first, we do believe it’s the first ever Netflix Original movie from the region.
