Jennifer Lopez has been on a roll with Netflix, delivering hit after hit, and now she's teaming up with Brett Goldstein for an exciting new romantic comedy, Office Romance. After the massive success of The Mother and Atlas on the platform, Lopez is ready to flex her comedic muscles in this fresh take on workplace romance, a genre that fans can't seem to get enough of. Goldstein, best known for his Emmy-winning role as Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, will not only star but also co-write the film alongside Ted Lasso scribe Joe Kelly.
Netflix secured the rights to Office Romance after a heated bidding war, and with the talent behind it, it's no surprise. The film's production team includes heavy hitters like Aaron Ryder (Arrival) and Andrew Swett (The Founder), alongside Lopez's Nuyorican Productions, which is known for championing diverse female talent both in front of and behind the camera.
Lopez and Goldstein recently made waves at the Toronto International Film Festival. Lopez starred in Unstoppable, a sports drama based on the life of wrestler Anthony Robles, which earned a 74% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Goldstein, meanwhile, co-wrote and starred in All of You, which premiered at TIFF to an impressive 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Their new project brings these two powerhouses together for what's sure to be a smart and irreverent romantic comedy that will appeal to fans of both stars.
Given Lopez's track record on Netflix, with The Mother racking up 136.4 million global views and ranking among Netflix's top 10 most-watched films of all time, expectations are high. Will Office Romance match those numbers? With Goldstein's wit and Lopez's star power, it's likely to hit big.
Stay tuned for more updates as Netflix gears up for what could be its next rom-com hit. Whether you're a fan of Lopez's charisma or Goldstein's sharp comedic timing, Office Romance is shaping up to be a must-watch.
