Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming rom-com starring Jennifer Lopez and Ted Lasso breakout Goldstein.
The film is “a raunchy romantic comedy about a secret office romance and the trouble two workaholics get in when they start thinking with their hearts,” according to an official description from Netflix.
Lopez stars as the perfectionist CEO of an airline Jackie Cruz in the film, while Goldstein plays her company’s ambitious new lawyer, Daniel Blanchflower.
As the trailer’s description reads, “This is a rom-com that’s not safe for work… but so worth the risk.”
The trailer begins with the pair’s meet-cute on Daniel’s first day of work.
“For most people, work is something that you have to endure. But for me, running this airline, this is the best part,” Lopez’s Jackie says in the trailer.
It’s only after the pair jet off on a destination work trip that things start to heat up between them.
“Do you believe in magic?” Jackie asks Daniel, who tells her, “Honestly, since I first walked into your office, I believe in everything.”
Betty Gilpin co-stars in the film that also features Edward James Olmos, who portrayed Lopez’s father in the 1997 film Selena. He plays the actress’s onscreen father again in this new movie.
Office Romance was written by Goldstein and Joe Kelly and helmed by Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again director Ol Parker. It arrives to Netflix on June 5.

Chadwick Boseman’s brothers Derrick Boseman and Kevin Boseman have asked a Los Angeles court to remove their late brother’s widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, as administrator of his estate, according to a petition filed last week filed on behalf of their parents.
In the petition, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, Derrick Boseman and Kevin Boseman allege that following the Oscar nominee’s death in 2020, Ledward, who inherited 50% of her late husband’s estate and was appointed as administrator, “never fully distributed” the remaining 50% of his estate, despite a 2022 probate order requiring her to do so.
According to the petition, because Chadwick Boseman did not leave behind a will when he died, 50% of his estate passed to Ledward, while his parents Leroy Boseman and Carolyn Boseman inherited 25% each.
A Los Angeles court ordered Ledward to distribute the remaining half of the actor’s estate to his parents on Oct. 4, 2022.
“Nearly four years later,” the brothers allege, “Respondent has still not distributed the estate, nor has she filed a petition for discharge with receipts as required … instead, Respondent continues to exert unilateral control over Decedent’s estate, denying Decedent’s family long overdue closure or participation in decision-making regarding matters affecting Leroy and Carolyn’s interests in Decedent’s estate.”
The brothers allege that this has caused “ongoing harm” to their parents.
“By failing to distribute Decedent’s estate, Respondent deprives Leroy and Carolyn of financial assets at a vulnerable age when such support is most critical,” they allege. “Moreover, the needless continuation of these proceedings denies Decedent’s family closure and causes emotional distress.”
The petition asks the court to compel Ledward to show why she shouldn’t be held in contempt of court for failing to comply with the 2022 order and to compel her to fully distribute as required her late husband’s assets, which include “royalties and residuals, image and intellectual property rights, real property, a previously undisclosed bank account at CNB, and other personal property.”
The brothers also requested that Ledward be removed as estate administrator and replaced by a private professional fiduciary and forensic accountant, in order to investigate any alleged estate mismanagement and “any unaccounted-for assets.”
The petition additionally asks the court to require Ledward to provide a complete accounting of estate assets, including SAG-AFTRA residuals and royalties, arguing that the family would be unable to determine whether everything has been properly distributed without those records.
ABC News has reached out to representatives for Ledward and Derrick Boseman and Kevin Boseman for comment.
Chadwick Boseman, known for his role as King T’Challa in Black Panther and films like 42, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and more, died Aug. 28, 2020, at the age of 43, following a private battle with colon cancer.
Daisy Edgar-Jones as Elinor Dashwood and George MacKay as Edward Ferrars in ‘Sense and Sensibility.’ (Focus Features)
The official trailer for the upcoming Sense and Sensibility film has arrived.
Daisy Edgar-Jones will star as Elinor in the adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, which arrives to theaters on Oct. 16.
Also starring are Esmé Creed-Miles as Marianne Dashwood, Caitríona Balfe as Mrs. Dashwood, Frank Dillane as John Willoughby, George MacKay as Edward Ferrars, Herbert Nordrum as Colonel Brandon, Bodhi Rae Breathnach as Margaret Dashwood and Fiona Shaw as Mrs. Jennings.
Georgia Oakley directs the movie for Focus Features and Working Title. Bestselling author Diana Reid adapted Austen’s book for the film’s screenplay. This adaptation is “an irresistible new take on Jane Austen’s iconic Sense and Sensibility: a charming, witty, and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood,” according to an official description.
Sense and Sensibility, of course, follows sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. It shows the journey of their love lives, losses and financial uncertainty, all of which they navigate as complete opposites in emotional approach.
The new trailer shows off this take on the classic story, with sisters Elinor and Marianne navigating their lives and considering the possibility of romantic love.
“The man who loves me must burn with it, with all his passions, without the lightest restraint or hesitation,” Creed-Miles’ Marianne says in the trailer.
The trailer ends with Marianne saying, “I think a man ought to be at least artificially passionate or he’d be sincerely dull,” before admitting to her sister, “I require so much.”
The film marks the third Austen adaptation for Focus Features and Working Title after the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film and 2020’s Emma. Sense and Sensibility was previously brought to the screen by Ang Lee in his 1995 film starring Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant.
