There’s Something for Everyone in Netflix’s ‘Summer of Love’ Rom-Com Lineup
Good romantic comedies are few and far between these days. As Chrissy Teigen noted back in March, “There is a shortage of rom-coms and thus a shortage of my happiness.” Fortunately for Teigen — and us! — Netflix is on a mission to revive the genre.
Last week, the streaming service debuted Set It Up, a rom-com starring Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Lucy Liu, and Taye Diggs. And now they’ve released a list of other rom-coms — both originals and standards — for your next date night.
Of course, there are different kinds of love, so Netflix organized the list into categories such as: LGBTQ+ stories, young romance, wedding movies, and films about friendship. They also created a little infographic to match you with your perfect rom-com. Take a look below to find out which films are already streaming and when the rest will hit Netflix.
