The film released in 2002. It is now set for its OTT debut.
Britney Spears’ Crossroads will finally stream on Netflix. It is her first starring role in a feature film and will release on February 15.

We're thrilled to announce that Crossroads will finally be available on Netflix — GLOBALLY — starting February 15."
The film released on the same day in 2002. At the time, Britney had just tasted success with hits like “Oops…I Did It Again” and “Baby One More Time” and had become the most commercially successful teenage music artist of all time.
In the film, Britney starred as Lucy.
It also featured her song “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman”.
The movie touched on a lot of topics like teen pregnancy, rape and childhood abandonment.
The film also featured Zoë Saldana, Taryn Manning, Dan Akroyd, Beverly Johnson and Kim Cattrall.
Kim Cattrall and Dan Aykroyd starred as Spears' parents. Her real-life sister Jamie Lynn Spears starred in the film as a younger version of Britney's character Lucy.
Britney Spears wrote in her recent memoir The Woman in Me that she "didn’t know how to break out of my character" while she filmed the 2002 movie Crossroads.
The film was written by Bridgerton creator Shonda Rhimes. It was directed by Tamra Davis. The film is produced by Ann Carli, who previously worked for Spears’ label Jive Records.
