Lonely Planet: New Age-Gap Romance Is A Top Movie On Netflix

“Lonely Planet” is currently the second most popular movie on Netflix, according to the platform’s public ranking system.

Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth star in this new romantic drama, which premiered on the streaming service on Oct. 11. Set in Morocco, the plot follows an established novelist who decides to work on her next book at a quiet resort ― where she unexpectedly connects with a much younger man.

Coming on the heels of “The Idea of You” and “A Family Affair,” the release of “Lonely Planet” serves as further evidence that 2024 might be the year of the age-gap romance.
