Netflix Acquires Natalie Portman and Lena Dunham's Rom-Com 'Good Sex' for $55 Million

The film, directed by Lena Dunham and starring Natalie Portman, explores age-gap romance and self-discovery, marking one of the largest deals at the European Film Market.

Netflix secured global distribution rights to the romantic comedy 'Good Sex' after a competitive bidding war involving Warner Bros., Apple, and Amazon.
The $55 million deal is one of the biggest acquisitions in European Film Market history, boosted further by New Jersey tax incentives for production.
'Good Sex' stars Natalie Portman as Ally, a couples’ therapist navigating life and romance after a decade-long relationship ends, caught between two contrasting relationships.
The film is written and directed by Lena Dunham, with Portman and Dunham also serving as producers under their respective production banners, MountainA and Good Thing Going.
Casting for the two male leads is underway, with the film expected to begin shooting in New Jersey, though its release strategy—streaming or theatrical—has not been confirmed.
