Jennifer Lopez & Brett Goldstein To Star in Netflix's Office Romance

As a seasoned movie enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of Hollywood over the past few decades, I must say that Jennifer Lopez continues to be a fascinating figure in the industry. While her films may not always receive critical acclaim, they undeniably have an immense draw for audiences, as evidenced by Netflix’s continued investment in her projects.


Despite some critics not favoring Jennifer Lopez’s Netflix films, such as her latest release “Atlas” with a dismal rating on Rotten Tomatoes, there’s no disputing that she’s been quite popular on the streaming platform. For instance, “The Mother,” released in 2023, was more warmly received and proved to be another successful project for Lopez on Netflix. The success of these two films has led Netflix to heavily invest in the actress, securing the rights to the upcoming romantic comedy “Office Romance” featuring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein from Ted Lasso.

According to Deadline, Netflix emerged victorious in a fierce competition with other studios to secure the rights for the upcoming movie. The screenplay for this film was jointly penned by Goldstein and Joe Kelly. Betting on Lopez has proven to be a profitable move for Netflix, as her movies are among the most-watched content on their platform. Despite receiving mixed reviews from both audiences and critics, her films continue to attract viewers. Among the top 10 most-watched movies on the platform is “The Mother,” while “Atlas” has already garnered over 73 million views. Although neither film is particularly innovative, it underscores Lopez’s drawing power among viewers.

Goldstein gained global recognition through his portrayal of Roy Kent in Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso. While the series concluded with its third season in 2023, there seems to be a strong possibility that he will reprise his role in Season 4, as options have been secured for Goldstein, Waddingham, and Swift, hinting at plans for a fourth season. However, an official announcement has not been made yet, but it looks promising for the show’s future.

Lopez, who is well-known for her singing accomplishments, has also gained recognition in the movie industry. The upcoming “Office Romance” is simply one of the numerous romantic comedies she has appeared in. Other examples include “Maid in Manhattan”, “Monster-in-Law”, “Shotgun Wedding”, “Shall We Dance?”, and “Marry Me”. Although not all have been box office successes, it’s evident that she is a familiar face in the romantic comedy genre.

In her recent musical output titled “This Is Me… Now“, there’s a companion romantic movie featuring Jane Fonda, Fat Joe, Kim Petras, and her spouse, Ben Affleck. This film, inspired by their marriage, debuted on February 16th. However, just over two months later, on August 20th, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck, specifying April 26 as the date of their estrangement. This date marks a short period after the film was released, which showcased their love story, and yet the couple had separated by then.

After their split, it appears that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been seen together on several public outings, hinting that their union might not conclude in divorce. Notably, the pair had a romantic history dating back to 2002 when they got engaged but eventually parted ways. However, their relationship was rekindled in 2021, leading them to engage once more and ultimately marry. Despite some turbulence in their personal lives, Jennifer Lopez continues to excel in her professional endeavors.
