Blending comedy, action and themes of empathy and understanding, SWAPPED has been described as a “Freaky Friday-style” story set in the wild, making it appealing to both younger audiences and families alike.

As anticipation builds ahead of its May 1st debut on Netflix, Michael B. Jordan’s involvement continues to generate excitement, positioning SWAPPED as one of the platform’s most anticipated animation releases of the year.
