Lindsay Lohan, the multifaceted star, returns to the screen this holiday season with Netflix’s upcoming romantic comedy, Our Little Secret. Directed by Stephen Herek, known for his work on Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, the film promises a festive romp with an unexpected twist. Slated for release on November 27, the movie sees Lohan and Ian Harding portraying ex-lovers who find themselves under one festive roof, only to discover their current partners are siblings—a revelation that surely adds an extra layer of complexity to the holiday cheer.
The ensemble cast is both robust and intriguing, featuring the talents of Tim Meadows, Jon Rudnitsky, Henry Czerny, Judy Reyes, Chris Parnell, Kristin Chenoweth, and Dan Bucatinsky. It’s Chenoweth’s character who becomes a focal point of tension—Lohan’s character frets over dealing with her boyfriend’s formidable mother. In one memorable scene from the trailer, we see Lohan on high alert, warning Harding, “You cannot tell anyone about us. The last thing I need is to give that woman ammunition.” The stakes are clearly high when it comes to holiday family dynamics.
Adding to these tensions is a series of humorous misadventures, including one where some innocuous-looking gummy candies surprise Lohan with an unexpected ingredient. It’s a classic trope of holiday comedies—adding a little spice to the season’s festivities. Harding also brings emotional depth, admitting in the trailer, “I don’t want you to think that I just moved on,” hinting at unresolved feelings and the potential for rekindled romance amidst the chaos.
This film is penned by Hailey DeDominicis, adding her creative touch to the script, while Lisa Gooding and Mike Elliott take on production duties. Our Little Secret is a continuation of Lohan’s partnership with Netflix, following her previous projects Irish Wish and Falling for Christmas, each contributing to her growing portfolio of holiday-themed narratives.
