You know Lucy and Ricky. Now it's time to meet Lucille and Desi. Here’s a special teaser from Being the Ricardos, in theaters December 10 and on Prime Video December 21.

_I Love Lucy_ is the ultimate comfort show for me. I love her so much, and in awe of her talent.

[GEKENILWORTH]

I'm old enough to remember the first run of the show. I remember my mom telling me that in the 50s, our local grammar school had to change the night of the PTA meetings because no one showed up (They were home watching I love Lucy!)

[d.shannon]

The most well known and beloved television show for multiple generations. There is no other show like it. 😍 It was cool to grow up watching it as a latchkey kid. 😎

Lucie Arnaz has given the finished product a huge endorsement and praised all Nicole and Javier. She said they really captured the essence of her parents. Like millions of others, I can recite the dialogue to every episode; I can't wait to see this film.

I cried when I heard the theme music...I love Lucy was such a huge part of my childhood. Can't to see this film. It looks amazing.

[MrAlwaysnred]

I’m so excited to see this!!! Been watching I love Lucy since a kid and still watch it every night on Hulu. I’m just mad they don’t have all the episodes on Hulu

[AmandaCastroBand]

I am a HUGE fan of Lucy and Desi ! I can’t wait to watch

[zainabawoon]

Oooooh I had Goosebumps!!!! The nostalgia man!!! When the narration started at the beginning of the trailer I was mind blown, it sounded so much like Lucille Ball I had to pinch myself. I can't wait to watch it!😍

Saw the movie today. Kidman kills it. Stunning performance

[RamadaArtist]

I grew up on I Love Lucy reruns, like, legitimately made me a better person. I had no idea this was happening, and I can't wait for it.

[jem]

I've been watching I love lucy since I was a little girl....and now my girls watch it too 🥰

[KikiCandy_]

Based on what we can hear here I think she's nailing it. Particularly the part where she's saying "and all I have to do to keep it is kill" she has that husky smokey rasp Lucy had. And also you can hear her in the background of that part going "Ohhhh" she really sounds like her. I'm so excited to see this.

Lucille Ball was gorgeous as a young actress And an icon A carrear that spans generations

[kayjohnson]

One of my all time favorite sitcoms! I have watched it for decades and it’s still funny! That foursome was awesome. They were quite the talent all four. They made it so special!

[bigfoot]

I saw written and directed by Aaron Sorkin….. will watch immediately!

[Blex]

To be fair, Rami Malek looks nothing like Freddie Mercury but he captured his essence! I’m expecting the same from Nicole. And Aaron wrote it so I have a feeling it’s going to be great!

[ShinyRedGrapple]

Lucille Ball is my answer when asked, "Can women be funny?" She is a legend.

[rickyricardo]

I cannot express how much I love this show… this better do it justice!

[redeye]

Can’t wait to see this. Long love Lucy.

[brianh]

Been waiting on another Lucy biopic for a long time!
