Netflix today revealed first look photos from the upcoming rom-com, Irish Wish, starring Lindsay Lohan (Falling for Christmas, Mean Girls) and Ed Speleers (You, Outlander).
Directed by Janeen Damian (Falling for Christmas, Paris Christmas Waltz) and written by Kirsten Hansen (Chesapeake Shores, Cross Country Christmas), Irish Wish will stream on Netflix March 15th, 2024, in time for St. Patrick’s Day. The film marks the first of her two picture creative partnership with Netflix.
The logline reads: “When the love of her life gets engaged to her best-friend, Maddie puts her feelings aside to be a bridesmaid at their wedding in Ireland. Days before the pair are set to marry, Maddie makes a spontaneous wish for true love, only to wake up as the bride-to-be. With her dream seeming to come true, Maddie soon realizes that her real soulmate is someone else entirely.”
The cast also includes Alexander Vlahos (Sanditon, Versailles), Ayesha Curry (Stephen vs. The Game), Elizabeth Tan (The Singapore Grip), Jacinta Mulcahy (Much Ado About Christmas), and Jane Seymour (Harry Wild, The Kominsky Method).
Maddie’s [one of the only] characters that I’ve played [who’s] a woman on her own making her way in the world… We shaped her in a way that she was a bit more insecure in the beginning, and then she grows throughout the movie, and by the end, she really comes into her own. It’s a nice story of luck and love and confidence.
Lindsay Lohan tells TUDUM.com
Irish Wish is set in “the rolling green moors of Ireland” and was filmed on location in Wicklow.
