Netflix’s A Family Affair romantic comedy arrives hot on the heels of Prime Video’s The Idea of You. Both films feature May-December romances, with The Idea of You starring Nicholas Galitzine as a pop star and Anne Hathaway as the December half of the romance. In A Family Affair, Zac Efron (the May) is a movie star and it’s Nicole Kidman (the December) who falls hard despite her daughter’s dismay.
The trailer introduces the setup, with Joey King playing Kidman’s daughter who happens to be Efron’s character’s assistant. The cast also includes Liza Koshy and Kathy Bates.
“A surprising romance kicks off comic consequences for a young woman, her mother, and her movie star boss as they face the complications of love, sex, and identity,” reads Netflix’s synopsis.
Oscar nominee Richard Lagravenese (Best Original Screenplay, The Fisher King) directed from a screenplay by Carrie Solomon. Speaking with Netflix’s Tudum, Lagravenese talked about how he views the story. “I saw in it a coming-of-age story for three different characters at three different stages of their lives,” said Lagravenese. “I was going through my own sort of transition into what Gail Sheehy called Second Adulthood, where after you’ve fulfilled all your expectations and you’ve been what you need to be for everyone else, and you’ve achieved something and children are grown and all that stuff, you get a chance of being who you are and the things that you lost along the way.”
Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum produced the romantic comedy, and Michelle Morrissey, Alyssa Altman, and Carrie Solomon serve as executive producers.
A Family Affair will premiere on Netflix on June 28, 2024.
