If there’s anything Netflix knows how to execute perfectly, it’s horror movies.
The streaming platform’s mixed-up mysteries have gotten millions upon millions of viewers hooked — from White Lotus to You, Netflix is endlessly creative with movie and TV thrillers alike.
Now, there’s news surrounding Netflix’s next hit thriller: The Last Mrs. Parrish. Jennifer Lopez has been confirmed to star in the film, playing the part of a nefarious con artist.
The Last Mrs. Parrish was originally a book released in 2017, which became one of Reese Witherspoon’s book club picks, and also gained traction on TikTok. It follows a con artist who attempts to work her way into the lives of an extremely wealthy couple, by befriending the wife and seducing the husband. Lopez’s character, Amber Patterson, hopes to eventually take the place of Mrs. Parrish — but she soon finds that the life of Mrs. Parrish isn’t what she thought it to be.
The book received nearly 4 stars on GoodReads and featured rave reviews from a number of critics. Netflix’s movie adaptation will likely stay relatively true to the original source, which features a number of twists and turns that earned this book praise from readers.
The Last Mrs. Parrish sits at about 400 pages long, which means that we’ll likely see a number of cuts made to the material. It follows both the perspectives of Amber Patterson and Mrs. Parrish, however, and is split into three parts; Netflix will be able to condense a lot of this in movie format, which should help the film stay true to its source.
The Last Mrs. Parrish film currently has no release date, and has not yet started filming — but Lopez has officially confirmed her involvement. The film will be directed by Robert Zemeckis.
