Overview
- The feature adapts Katherine Center’s 2022 bestseller about a no-nonsense bodyguard assigned to protect a movie star over the holidays.
- Erin Cardillo and Richard Keith wrote the screenplay, and the cast also includes Andie MacDowell, Walker Hayes, Noah LaLonde and Toby Sandeman.
- Producers include Gina Matthews and Grant Scharbo of Little Engine Productions alongside Jared and Genevieve Padalecki for Living in the Asterisk.
- Meester and Padalecki invited readers on Instagram to suggest a new title because the book’s name is tied to the 1992 Kevin Costner–Whitney Houston film.
- Rosenbaum said BookTok enthusiasm helped drive the adaptation, which shifts the story to a Christmas setting; the Netflix release date is not yet announced.
