Lindsay Lohan is back on Netflix for the second time this year with a holiday feature, Our Little Secret. The romantic comedy stars Ian Harding alongside Lohan, and the film premiered on Netflix on November 27, 2024.
38-year-old Lindsay Lohan is a prominent American actress, singer-songwriter, and producer. She began her career as a child model and rose to fame with her dual role in the 1998 film The Parent Trap. Her three-decade career is marked by her teenage stardom, troubled personal life, and eventual comeback.
According to Tudum by Netflix, in 2022, Lohan entered a "creative partnership deal" with the streaming giant. Her first movie with the platform, Falling for Christmas, premiered in November 2022. In the film, she plays a spoiled heiress who ends up in the care of a lodge owner after suffering from amnesia in the days ahead of Christmas.
Our Little Secret is the second film under the partnership, and its central plot revolves around Avery (Lohan) and Logan (Harding), two lovers who accidentally meet at Christmas when their current partners turn out to be siblings.
They hide this from their partners' families, and it becomes 'Our Little Secret.' The premise leads to hilarious and awkward confrontations, all in the background of the festive season.

“We were friends more than anything. We were always more like best friends as well.”
