Greta Lee and Rebecca Ferguson are officially starring together in a new sapphic rom-com, confirming months of speculation that began when photos of the two actresses kissing on a London set went viral this summer.
A Meet-Cute at 35,000 Feet
Per Deadline, the film follows two women who meet on a flight from LA to London, one en route to her honeymoon by herself after being left at the altar by her girlfriend, the other headed home for her mother's funeral, and they wind up spending the week together. It's a premise built for exactly the kind of yearning-heavy, slow-burn chemistry that made those set photos, taken in front of Horse Guards Parade in early August, spread so fast across queer corners of the internet.

Confirmed at Last
The kiss photos had circulated for weeks without official confirmation, fueling the kind of speculative frenzy that only a sapphic rom-com starring two acclaimed actresses can generate. Now the production, casting, director, and premise are all locked in, even if a release date isn't yet.
Part of a Bigger Wave
Honeymoon/Funeral lands inside what's shaping up to be an unusually deep run for sapphic film. Following 2024's celebrated crop, including Love Lies Bleeding and Bottoms, 2025 and 2026 have brought a wider mix of tones, from horror to period drama to lighter romance, suggesting this isn't a fluke but a genuine, diversifying pipeline.
Worth Considering
Neither Lee nor Ferguson is openly queer, a detail that always sparks debate in queer film circles about who gets to tell these stories. It doesn't erase what this project represents: another mainstream romantic comedy centering two women, made by a queer-friendly creative team, at a moment when that's still rarer than it should be.
