Jennifer Lopez is continuing her successful streak with Netflix as she partners with Brett Goldstein for a new romantic comedy titled Office Romance. Following the success of The Mother and Atlas, Lopez is set to explore the comedic side of workplace relationships, a popular genre among viewers. Goldstein, widely recognized for his acclaimed portrayal of Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, will both star in and co-write the film with Joe Kelly, a writer from the same show.
Netflix acquired the rights to Office Romance amidst a competitive bidding process, highlighting the impressive talent involved. The production team boasts notable figures such as Aaron Ryder from Arrival and Andrew Swett, known for The Founder, alongside Lopez’s own Nuyorican Productions, which focuses on empowering diverse female talent in the film industry.
Lopez and Goldstein recently drew attention at the Toronto International Film Festival. Lopez’s performance in Unstoppable, a drama about wrestler Anthony Robles, received a 74% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while Goldstein’s co-written film, All of You, premiered with an impressive 85% rating. Their upcoming collaboration is anticipated to deliver a clever and edgy rom-com appealing to their fanbase.
With Lopez’s prior successes on Netflix—including The Mother, which garnered 136.4 million views and became one of the platform’s top films—anticipation for Office Romance is high. The combination of Goldstein’s humor and Lopez’s star power bodes well for its potential popularity.
Keep an eye out for further announcements as Netflix prepares for what might be its next romantic comedy sensation. For fans of Lopez’s unique charm or Goldstein’s witty humor, Office Romance is expected to be a can’t-miss feature.
