Here come the Men in Black — back to streaming. 1997’s Men in Black, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in July, is now available to watch on Netflix along with its two sequels: 2002’s Men in Black II and 2012’s Men in Black 3. Starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as MIB Agents J and K, the Barry Sonnenfeld-directed Sony sci-fi trilogy arrives on the service alongside the original Spider-Man trilogy, also from Sony Pictures, as part of Netflix’s streaming lineup for August. (2019’s MiB: International, a spinoff teaming Chris Hemsworth’s Agent H and Tessa Thompson’s Agent M, is available to watch with a Starz subscription.)

Until recently, the Men in Black trilogy was only available for rent or purchase on digital retailers like Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play, Redbox, Vudu, and YouTube. Men in BlackMen in Black II, and Men in Black 3 are among the titles now streaming on Netflix as of August 1.

In Men in Black, they are the best-kept secret in the universe. Working for a highly funded yet unofficial government agency, Kay (Jones) and Jay (Smith) are the Men in Black, providers of immigration services and regulators of all things alien on Earth. While investigating a series of unregistered close encounters, the MIB agents uncover the deadly plot of an intergalactic terrorist (Vincent D’Onofrio) who is on a mission to assassinate two ambassadors from opposing galaxies currently in residence in New York City.

Years later, in Men in Black II, Kay and Jay reunite to provide our best line of defense against a seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIBs mission statement: protecting the earth from the scum of the universe. While investigating a routine crime, Jay uncovers a plot masterminded by Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle), a Kylothian monster who disguises herself as a lingerie model. When Serleena takes the MIB building hostage, there is only one person Jay can turn to — his former MIB partner.

Agent J and Agent K would team for the final time in Men in Black 3. Even though Jay and Kay have been protecting the Earth from alien scum for many years, J still does not know much about his gruff partner. However, J soon gets an unexpected chance to find out what makes K tick when an alien criminal called Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement) escapes, goes back to 1969, and kills K. With the fate of the planet at stake, J goes back in time and teams up with K’s younger self (Josh Brolin) to put things right.

The streamer also added more fan-favorite movies to its library, including Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the original Space Jam, and Miss Congeniality. See the full list of every movie and TV title coming to Netflix in August below.
