Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein Team Up for Netflix's 'Office Romance'

Jennifer Lopez and Emmy winner Brett Goldstein are set to star in Netflix's new rom-com 'Office Romance.' The project, which sparked a competitive bidding war, has Goldstein and Joe Kelly co-writing. Lopez will produce through Nuyorican Films and showcase at the Toronto Film Festival.

Jennifer Lopez is set to collaborate with two-time Emmy winner Brett Goldstein in the upcoming romantic comedy 'Office Romance,' produced for Netflix. This announcement follows Lopez's successful films 'The Mother' and 'Atlas,' both of which garnered significant viewership on the streaming platform, according to Deadline.

The project, which sparked considerable attention and a competitive bidding war, will see Goldstein and Joe Kelly co-writing the screenplay. The film is expected to feature several notable roles for character actors, adding depth and variety to its narrative.

'Office Romance' will be produced by Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett of Ryder Picture Company, along with Goldstein and Kelly. Lopez will also produce through her company, Nuyorican Films, alongside Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina.

Courtney Baxter from Nuyorican will serve as executive producer. Nuyorican Films holds a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix focused on diverse stories and talent, particularly those featuring women, according to Deadline.

Both Lopez and Goldstein recently showcased their talents at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF). Lopez attended with her Amazon MGM Studios film 'Unstoppable,' which narrates the inspiring story of championship wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg.

Meanwhile, Goldstein premiered 'All of You,' a drama he co-wrote and starred in with Imogen Poots. In addition to 'Office Romance,' Lopez and Nuyorican are adapting Emily Henry's bestseller 'Happy Place' into a Netflix series with Leila Cohan as co-writer and showrunner, as reported by Deadline.
