Get ready to fasten your seatbelts — Jennifer Lopez is taking flight in a brand-new rom-com, and the first look has fans buzzing. Netflix dropped the trailer for “Office Romance” on Thursday, April 30, 2026, offering a sneak peek at the steamy workplace love story starring Lopez opposite “Ted Lasso” favorite Brett Goldstein.
Directed by Ol Parker, who previously helmed “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,” the film pairs two of entertainment’s most charismatic stars in a story about secret love, soaring stakes and the thrill of breaking the rules. And according to Parker, the project might surprise longtime J.Lo fans.
“It pushes the envelope slightly for what people might expect from a Jennifer Lopez movie,” Parker told PEOPLE.
A High-Flying Premise
In “Office Romance,” Lopez plays Jackie Cruz, a powerhouse CEO at a major airline who doesn’t just run the company — she also flies the plane. Goldstein co-stars as Daniel Blanchflower, the airline’s newest lawyer, who finds himself instantly smitten with his sharp, magnetic boss.
The trailer, released on Thursday morning, gives audiences their first taste of the chemistry between the unlikely pair. As Daniel watches Jackie work her magic, he gushes, “She’s dynamic. She’s incredible.” The connection only deepens when the two travel together to the Dominican Republic, blurring the lines between business and pleasure in ways neither saw coming.
Of course, falling for the boss isn’t exactly low-risk. “If we get caught, it could destroy everything I’ve built,” Jackie warns Daniel. The two strike a deal — “no fooling around at the office” — but as the trailer playfully suggests, elevators are technically a gray area.
“Their secret Office Romance takes off when these two workaholics stop playing by the rules and start following their hearts,” reads the official synopsis.
A Sweet Selena Reunion
Among the film’s most heartwarming behind-the-scenes details: Edward James Olmos is back to play Lopez’s onscreen father — a role he originated nearly three decades ago in the 1997 biopic “Selena.” The reunion marks a full-circle moment for the two actors, whose original collaboration helped launch Lopez into superstardom.
Olmos joins a stacked supporting ensemble that reads like a who’s-who of comedy and prestige TV. Betty Gilpin, Amy Sedaris, Tony Hale, Bradley Whitford and Jodie Whittaker all appear in the film, alongside Mary Wiseman, Tony Plana, Roger Bart, Rick Hoffman, Jackie Sandler, Michelle Hurd, Ali Stroker, Lisa Gilroy, Will Sasso, Donald Elise Watkins, Natalie Ortega, Brian Gallivan, Scott Seiss and Mo Welch.
Goldstein Trades Roy Kent for Romance
For Goldstein, who became a household name as the gruff-but-lovable Roy Kent on “Ted Lasso,” the role represents a softer, more romantic turn. He also co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Kelly, putting his stamp on the project both in front of and behind the camera.
The trailer leans into Goldstein’s quieter charm. In one of its most disarming exchanges, Jackie asks, “Do you believe in magic?” Daniel’s reply: “Honestly, since I first walked into your office I believe in everything.”
It’s the kind of meet-cute moment fans of the genre live for — and a tonal shift that suggests “Office Romance” knows exactly what it wants to be: a glossy, grown-up love story with stars who actually look like they’re enjoying themselves.
Behind the Scenes
The film hails from Ryder Picture Company and Lopez’s Nuyorican Productions, the latter of which has a multiyear first-look deal with Netflix spanning features, TV series and unscripted content. Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett produce alongside Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Benny Medina, Goldstein and Kelly. Alexander Black, Jon Rosenberg, Courtney Baxter and Pamela Thur serve as executive producers.
It’s a notable team-up for Lopez, who has spent recent years building Nuyorican into a major production force, and Goldstein, whose post–”Ted Lasso” career has been on a steady climb. Pairing them with Parker — a director with a proven knack for crowd-pleasing romance — feels like a calculated bet on the kind of breezy, star-driven entertainment streaming audiences have been clamoring for.
Early reaction to the trailer has been enthusiastic, with viewers praising the unexpected pairing and the film’s old-school rom-com energy. The genre, long declared dead, has been quietly reasserting itself on streaming platforms, and “Office Romance” looks poised to keep that momentum going.
Whether the chemistry holds up over a full feature remains to be seen, but the trailer makes a strong opening pitch: glamorous travel, sharp banter, sneaky elevator kisses and two leads who clearly understand the assignment.
“Office Romance” lands on Netflix on June 5, 2026 — just in time for early-summer date nights, takeout dinners and stretchy-pants viewing parties. Until then, the trailer is doing more than enough to keep curiosity sky-high.
