Lena Dunham and Natalie Portman Are Cooking Up “Good Sex” in NYC
So, there’s a pretty exciting buzz going on right now in New York City—Lena Dunham and Natalie Portman are teaming up for a new romantic comedy, and it’s already causing a stir. The film, hilariously and provocatively titled Good Sex , has been in production since early July, with scenes unfolding across the city’s most iconic neighborhoods. If you’ve seen any behind-the-scenes photos, you’ll notice the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn are basically turning into the ultimate rom-com playground.

Now, what’s Good Sex actually about? Well, Portman plays Ally, a 40-something couples therapist who’s recently single and tangled up in a love triangle. One guy is a Brooklyn hipster—young, cool, and free-spirited. The other is a more classic, polished Manhattan man. It’s got all the makings of a romantic comedy you want to binge with your best friends—think When Harry Met Sally , but with a 2025 twist.
Lena Dunham, who’s directing and co-producing the film with Portman, is no stranger to peeling back the layers of modern relationships. You probably remember her from Girls , and she’s bringing that same sharp, feminist lens to this new story. She even said in an interview recently that the movie is meant to challenge our current ideas of love, sex, and expectations in relationships. And judging by the casting alone, this one’s going to be packed with charm. Mark Ruffalo is playing the older suitor, while Gen Z heartthrob and singer Role Model (Tucker Pillsbury) is stepping in as the hipster love interest. And—wait for it—Meg Ryan is also in the movie. Yes, the rom-com legend herself.
What’s kind of fun is that this whole collaboration came about after Lena ran into Meg Ryan at a Taylor Swift concert last year. She took a chance, pitched the role, and Meg said yes. Shout-out to Taylor for being the unexpected matchmaker!
The film’s being produced for Netflix, which reportedly won a bidding war for it back in January, paying a whopping $55 million. And music for the film? That’s being handled by Dunham’s husband, Luis Felber, who’s also scored her past projects like Too Much and Sharp Stick .
While the movie won’t hit screens until 2027, it’s already generating major anticipation. It’s shaping up to be one of those films that blends humor, heart, and a modern take on love—and honestly, who doesn’t want more of that?
