Over the years, romantic comedies have evolved beyond their traditional structures, delving into uncharted territories and complexities of reality. The past year has seen a resurgence of the genre. However, previous years experienced a scarcity of romantic comedy catalogs in Hollywood. While fans thought it would not be long before Netflix jumps back into the rom-com game, recent reports indicate that the streaming mogul is indeed ready to embrace love and laughter, with their subscribers all set to ship a new brewery of romance featuring Miranda Cosgrove and Pierson Fode.

Netflix has officially cast Miranda Cosgrove, the breakout star of Nickelodeon’s Drake & Josh and Pierson, famous for his portrayal in Based on a True Story, for their forthcoming romantic comedy, The Wrong Paris. Penned by Nicole Henrich, the film centers on Dawn, portrayed by Cosgrove, who is eager to travel to France with hopes of joining a Bachelor-style reality show set in Paris—only to find out that the show is actually taking place in Paris, Texas, as part of a producer's ratings stunt.

Janeen Damian will take on the role of director for the project, with Brad Krevoy from MPCA and Michael Damian serving as producers. Amanda Phillips, Jimmy Townsend, Kelly Fraizer, and Galen Fletcher, along with Janeen Damian, will act as executive producers. This is Damian's second recent romantic comedy for Netflix, following her successful Irish Wish, which starred Lindsay Lohan and reached No. 1 in 69 countries during its debut weekend. 

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s Ultimate Rom-Com Lands a Hit-And-Miss First Impression for Fans

For fans, 2024 is shaping up to be a celebration of the rom-com’s resurgence. With Netflix doubling down on the genre, excitement is building for the second half of the year.

Last year, Sydney Sweeney reignited the rom-com fever with Anyone but You. Since then, rom-com icons like Anne Hathaway and Blake Lively have also made their returns. While fans have their eyes on Lively’s It Ends With Us, with its first look promising a delightful August, now, with Miranda Cosgrove and Pierson Fode gearing up for another rom-com revival with Netflix's The Wrong Paris, it seems the golden era of romantic comedy is indeed making a vibrant comeback.

Many fans have already predicted a blockbuster season of love and laughter with The Wrong Paris, with some even declaring the subplot a hit. Surprisingly, fans even noticed a cryptic Lana del Rey reference in the plot twist.

Others are eagerly anticipating a standout success, with expectations higher than the limits of the sky. As Netflix continues to shine with impressive subscriber growth in the last quarter, rivaling its streaming adversaries with a benchmark far bigger than one expects, the streaming giant appears poised for another major success with this new venture in the remaining quarters as well.
