We are fully in the middle of the Lindsay Lohan renaissance, and honestly? Her return to entertainment has made this former Lohan-loving girlie so happy. For a long time, it felt like seeing her back on our screens in a major way was something we could only hope for—but now she is not only making movies again, she is clearly having fun doing what she has always been meant to do: charm us, make us laugh, and remind everyone why we fell in love with her in the first place.
Lohan is set to star in—and produce—Netflix’s upcoming romantic feature Return to You, opposite the always swoon-worthy Henry Golding. If that casting alone is not enough to get romance fans excited, the movie is also being directed by Mark Waters, the filmmaker behind two of Lohan’s most iconic early-2000s movies: Freaky Friday and Mean Girls.
In the film, Lohan plays a powerful but lonely attorney who accidentally receives an emotional DVD recorded by a dying woman for her husband. With only the clues contained in the message to guide her, she sets out to find the man the video was meant to reach—who is played by Golding. And yes, because this is a romance, we are already preparing ourselves for the emotional journey, the grief, the longing, the inevitable connection, and hopefully a love story that has us kicking our feet by the end.
Lohan producing the film alongside Brad Krevoy makes this feel even more exciting. She is not just stepping back into the romantic-comedy spotlight; she is helping shape the kind of project she wants to bring to audiences. With Lohan and Golding at the center, plus the Mark Waters reunion behind the camera, Return to You already has the potential to be the kind of nostalgic romance that becomes an instant comfort watch.
We love a good romance movie around here, and we are absolutely not complaining about getting to possibly watch Lindsay Lohan and Henry Golding’s characters fall in love on-screen.
