Emily in Paris star Lucien Laviscount stars in this new Netflix rom-com

If you’re looking for something to fill the Emily in Paris-shaped hole in your heart then we’ve found the perfect movie for you.

Fans of the hit Netflix series were devastated to see protagonist Emily break up with Alfie during season four.

Alfie, played by Lucien Laviscount, quickly became a fan favourite on the show but it looks like he likely won’t play as big a role in season five.

However, the English actor has landed a new role in a new rom-com and it’s the perfect film if you love the Netflix series.

Laviscount stars in the rom-com This Time Next Year and it’s a must-watch if you’re in need of something easy to watch over the weekend.

Actress  Sophie Cookson stars alongside Lucien Laviscount in This Time Next Year.

The film is based on the book by author Sophie Cousens. Her novel is a New York Times Bestseller so we certainly have high hopes for the film adaptation.

The film follows Londoners Minnie and Quinn who discover they were born on New Year’s Eve, at the same hospital, one minute apart.

The charming rom-com landed on Netflix on September 20th.

Read the full synopsis below:

‘Get ready to fall for this year’s most extraordinary love story. Quinn and Minnie are born on New Year’s Eve, in the same hospital, one minute apart.

‘Their lives may begin together, but their worlds couldn’t be more different. Thirty years later they find themselves together again in the same place, at the same time.

‘What if fate is trying to bring them together? Maybe it’s time to take a chance on love… ‘

Expect a lot of cheese and cliches from the film, but it makes for the perfect Sunday evening watch.
