The story follows an American woman who relocates to London, looking for a fresh start after suffering a major heartbreak, but there she meets a man – described as a "walking series of red flags" – with whom she has an immediate connection.

Hacks breakout star Megan Stalter plays the lead role of Jessica, while The White Lotus and A Real Pain star Will Sharpe co-stars as her possible love interest Felix.

The series, which is billed as "an ex-pat romcom for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is", will be streaming on Netflix from Thursday 10th July 2025.

The synopsis, courtesy of Netflix, reads: "Jessica is a New York workaholic in her mid-30s, reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows.

"When every block in New York tells a story of her own bad behaviour, the only solution is to take a job in London, where she plans to live a life of solitude like a Brontë sister."

The synopsis continues: "But when she meets Felix – a walking series of red flags – she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even when it creates more problems than it solves.

"Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language?"
