Jennifer Lopez is set to light up the screen once again in a new romantic comedy.
On Tuesday, September 17, it was announced that Lopez, 55, will star alongside Brett Goldstein, 44, known for his role in Ted Lasso, in Netflix’s upcoming film titled Office Romance. The project has generated significant buzz, with Netflix reportedly engaging in a heated bidding war to secure the rights to the film.
Goldstein, who has earned acclaim for his performance on Ted Lasso, is not only starring in Office Romance but also co-writing the screenplay with Joe Kelly, another alumnus from the hit Apple TV+ series. While the plot details for the film remain under wraps, the pairing of Lopez and Goldstein is already generating excitement among fans.
Lopez confirmed her involvement in the project by sharing a Deadline article on her Instagram Stories, where she enthusiastically wrote, “This is going to be fun!!!”
This new role marks Lopez’s third collaboration with Netflix, following her performances in The Mother (2023) and Atlas (2024). She is also set to appear in the sports drama Unstoppable, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6. The film, based on the life of wrestler Anthony Robles, chronicles his journey from being born with one leg to becoming a champion athlete. Additionally, Lopez will feature in the upcoming movie Kiss of the Spider-Woman.
Goldstein, fresh off his success on Ted Lasso, where he played the gruff but lovable Roy Kent, brings his Emmy-winning talent to this new venture. His work on Ted Lasso has earned him two consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor, alongside his roles as writer and producer on the series.
As anticipation builds for Office Romance, fans are eager to see how Lopez and Goldstein’s dynamic will translate on screen in this new Netflix comedy.
