Netflix moves release of film starring Huffman

Netflix officials have decided to move the release date of a film starring 56-year-old Felicity Huffman who agreed to plead guilty in the college admissions bribery scam.

The streaming service said that "Otherhood" won’t be released April 26 with a date to be determined. The romantic comedy stars Huffman, Patricia Arquette and Angela Bassett.

Huffman was accused of paying a consultant $15,000 disguised as a charitable donation to boost her daughter's SAT score. Authorities say the actress discussed going through with the same plan for her younger daughter, but ultimately decided against it.

Huffman had earned Emmy nominations for her work in the Netflix series "American Crime." She's also expected to play a prosecutor in the Ava DuVernay-directed "When They See Us," which releases May 31 on the streaming service.
