Production

[edit]

On January 22, 2024, Netflix revealed that Lindsay Lohan would be starring in Our Little Secret with principal photography underway in Atlanta and ran through late February.[1][2] Kristin Chenoweth, Ian Harding, Jon Rudnitsky, Chris Parnell, Tim Meadows, Dan Bucatinsky, Henry Czerny, Katie Baker, Ash Santos, Jake Brennan and Brian Unger were also announced to star.[3] Stephen Herek was set to direct from a script written by Hailey DeDominicis in her first produced screenplay credit. Mike Elliott and Lisa Gooding served as producers, with Joseph P. Genier executive producing the film.[4] The project is a part of Lohan's two-picture partnership with Netflix she entered in March 2022 and marked her third consecutive romantic comedy for the streaming service, following Falling for Christmas (2022) and Irish Wish (2024).[5]

Lohan described the film as more grounded and relatable compared to her previous Netflix projects, stating: "I love that because my character goes through a very real-life, kind of romantic struggle where she revisits someone from her past that she had a relationship with prior, and it's kind of a tug-of-war situation where she doesn't know what to do."[6] Emily Bear composed the original score.[7] Lohan and Harding revealed they filmed the more vulnerable moments between their characters first which allowed them to understand their connection and how close they were before shooting the "awkward" scenes.[8] Chenoweth stated her love for playing a "villain" drew her to the character and compared it to The Real Housewives of Atlanta.[9] They disclosed "a lot" of the movie was shot on a sound stage.[10][11]

Release

[edit]
