Jennifer Lopez will star in Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of The Last Mrs. Parrish, a psychological thriller based on Liv Constantine’s best-selling novel. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, known for Forrest Gump and Back to the Future, the film centers on a conniving woman who targets a wealthy couple for a twisted scheme.
The story follows a con artist who befriends the wife and seduces the husband of the Parrish family with the goal of becoming the next Mrs. Parrish. However, she soon learns that the wife’s life is far more complicated than she anticipated. Additional casting details have yet to be announced.
Andrea Berloff, who directed The Mother, and John Gatins, known for Flight, are writing the screenplay. Originally, Lisa Rubin was hired to write the script when the project was announced in 2021.

Executive producers include Margaret Chernin for 3dot Productions, Lynne and Valerie Constantine, and Jack Rapke and Derek Hogue.
