The rom-com queen and the foul-mouthed Ted Lasso star are teaming up for an R-rated workplace comedy. Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein’s Office Romance arrives on Netflix tomorrow, June 5.

What Is Netflix’s Office Romance About?
Jackie Cruz (Lopez) is the president and CEO of Air Cruz, a major airline. She runs a tight ship and enforces a strict “no office romance” policy for all employees. She also happens to be a terrible pilot who still insists on flying her own plane.
Enter Daniel Blanchflower (Goldstein), a bumbling, workaholic attorney who joins Jackie’s team. Despite the power imbalance and her own rules, Jackie falls hard. The film follows the secret relationship they try to keep hidden from their coworkers — and the trouble two workaholics get into when they finally start thinking with their hearts.
Supporting the leads are Jackie’s best friend Sydney (Betty Gilpin), who keeps a close eye on the romance, and Daniel’s sister Lizzy (Doctor Who’s Jodie Whittaker), who offers advice from an unexpected perspective.
The Cast: A Brilliant Odd-Couple Pairing
Jennifer Lopez plays Jackie Cruz. Known for recent streaming hits like The Mother and Atlas, she returns to comedy here in a role that lets her play “something very different” from the lower-status rom‑com parts she’s played before. Lopez also serves as an executive producer.
Brett Goldstein plays Daniel Blanchflower. Best known as Roy Kent from Ted Lasso, Goldstein brings his signature blend of grumpy vulnerability and sharp wit. Beyond acting, he co‑wrote the screenplay (with Joe Kelly) and also serves as a producer.
Supporting Cast Highlights
-
Betty Gilpin as Sydney, Jackie’s best friend

Jodie Whittaker as Lizzy, Daniel’s sister
-
Amy Sedaris, Tony Hale, Bradley Whitford, and Edward James Olmos as key workplace characters

Why Is Office Romance Rated R?
The film has been officially rated R by the MPAA for “strong language throughout, sexual material, and graphic nudity.” The runtime is 1 hour and 52 minutes.
For viewers familiar with Lopez’s previous rom‑coms, this is a sharp departure. The script is co‑written by Ted Lasso veterans, and the film leans hard into the same crude, adult‑oriented humor that made that series a hit. Parents should be aware that the film is not suitable for younger audiences.

Should You Add It to Your Watchlist?
If you loved the sharp, cynical humor of early 2000s workplace comedies but missed the big‑budget gloss of a Jennifer Lopez vehicle, Office Romance is your weekend binge. The pairing of Lopez’s commanding presence with Goldstein’s awkward, heartfelt energy is unexpected — and that is exactly what makes it worth watching.
