Hollywood’s biggest studios just got outplayed! Netflix swooped in with a jaw-dropping $50 million deal to snatch Good Sex, the wildly anticipated romantic comedy starring Oscar winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan, Thor: Love and Thunder) and co-written by Girls creator Lena Dunham. Insiders claim a fierce bidding war erupted overnight, with streamers and traditional studios clashing over what’s being called “the most daring rom-com of the decade.”
According to sources, Netflix’s winning bid skyrocketed after Portman and Dunham teased the project as a “no-holds-barred, hilarious deep dive into modern relationships, dating apps, and the myths about ‘perfect’ intimacy.” The film, loosely inspired by Dunham’s viral 2022 essay on love in the digital age, promises to blend sharp humor with Portman’s first leading comedy role in years. Industry insiders are already buzzing that Good Sex could become Netflix’s next Trainwreck-level hit.
“This script had EVERYONE fighting,” shared a studio executive. “Lena’s writing is fearless, and Natalie’s onboard not just as the star but as a producer. It’s fresh, provocative, and exactly what rom-coms need right now.” Rumors suggest streaming rivals Amazon and Hulu pushed hard for the rights, but Netflix’s upfront cash and global reach sealed the deal.
Fans are losing it online, with tweets like “NATALIE PORTMAN DOING RAUNCHY COMEDY? TAKE MY MONEY NOW” and “Lena Dunham writing for Portman is the collab I didn’t know I needed” flooding social media. While plot details are under wraps, Dunham hinted the story follows a sex therapist (Portman) whose chaotic personal life collides with her controversial advice.
Netflix’s move signals its latest power play to dominate the rom-com revival, following hits like The Kissing Booth and To All the Boys. But Good Sex isn’t just another love story—it’s a boundary-pushing, R-rated gamble that could redefine the genre. Production kicks off this fall, with a 2025 release likely.
Will Good Sex become Netflix’s steamiest hit yet? One thing’s clear: Hollywood’s buzzing, and viewers are obsessed already. Drop a if you’ll be watching!
