It looks like Jamie Dornan fans have something to look forward to for their next "Nextflix and Chill" session. And no, it's not exactly what you're thinking, either. The 50 Shades Darker actor's latest movie is being added to the popular in-demand app, which will no doubt see new subscriptions soar in massive numbers in the next several weeks (because who isn't a Dornan fan these days, right?).

According to Belfast Live on Friday, Dornan's film, Siege of Jadotville will be available on Netflix by the end of next month. It will first make its official premiere at the Galway Film Festival in western Ireland in July.

Dornan plays Commander Patrick Quinlan in the film, which is based on the true story of a siege on a small UN battalion by 3000 Congolese troops in 1961. The film is written by Kevin Brodbin with director Richie Smyth at the helm. Dornan spent several months in South Africa filming the movie last summer.

Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said: "The story of how Pat Quinlan led his troops against an overwhelming force without losing a single man is one of the great stories of the 20th century, and we are proud to be working with such a talented and committed team to bring it to life."

He added, "This film will be an amazing addition to our global original films initiative. As filmmakers, we are constantly looking for new ways to bring a movie to the largest possible audience. Netflix has already reinvented the TV market and is now moving front and center into the film business."
