Lindsay Lohan will come back once again with a romantic comedy for Netflix, “Irish Wish.” The film, which also stars Ed Speleers, will come out on the platform on March 15. It’s the first part of the actress’ two-picture deal with the streamer.
In the trailer, which was released on Feb. 20th, we see Lohan as Maddie, a woman who is headed to Ireland for her best friend’s wedding. But there’s a problem: she is in love with the groom, Paul, played by Alexander Vlahos. So, as it happens, she makes a wish to find true love and wakes up as the bride-to-be.
Of course, her new apparent perfect life will help her realize that maybe what she wants is something (or someone) else entirely. Directed by Janeen Damian, which also helmed Lohan’s previous “Falling For Christmas,” the movie is set out to bring the best of the rom-com genre.
Who is in the cast of “Irish Wish”?
Lohan, who is a veteran of the genre with titles such as “Just My Luck” or “The Parent Trap,” stars as Maddie, a very different character from her previous one in “Falling For Christmas.” The actress described Maddie as “a bit of a bookworm,” in an interview with Netflix Tudum back in November.
“She’s a nerd, which I loved playing. But she’s a sweetheart. She’s kind of naive, and she keeps it that way because her head is always focused on writing and stuff,” she said to Netflix.
But what is a rom-com without love interests? And in “Irish Wish” there are two: Paul, played by Vlahos, who is known for appearances in shows such as “Versalles,” and “Outlander,” and Speelers, who plays James Thomas, the wedding’s photographer and Maddie’s other love interest.
Speelers is known for appearing in series such as “Downton Abbey,” “Outlander” and “Star Trek: Picard.” He is also known for playing Rhys Montrose in the fourth and final season of “You”.
The rest of the cast Ayesha Curry as Heather, Elizabeth Tan as Emma Taylor, Jane Seymour as Rosemary Kelly, Jacinta Mulcahy as Olivia Kennedy, Matty McCabe as Kory Kennedy, and Dakota Lohan as Finn.
