Netflix Lands ‘Lovesick’ Starring Claire Danes With Series Order; Romantic Drama Comes From Sarah Treem, Universal TV & Keshet

• Netflix wins a huge bidding war for a new show.
• Claire Danes will star in and produce the series.
• The creator of ‘The Affair’ is running the show.

We just saw the news that Netflix beat everyone else to get a new show. It is called Lovesick. If you love messy, romantic dramas, this one is for you. It sounds intense.

Claire Danes is the star. She is also an executive producer. You probably know her from Homeland. She is amazing. Truly. She knows how to play characters with a lot of depth.

The show comes from Sarah Treem. She wrote The Affair and worked on House of Cards. This team feels like a powerhouse. Expect lots of talking. And lots of big feelings.

The vibe? It sounds moody. We imagine a visual style full of soft lighting and deep shadows. Very “main character energy.” It is the kind of aesthetic that makes you want to grab a coffee and a blanket.

Netflix didn’t just ask for a pilot. They ordered the whole series at once. They are very confident. We are too. While we wait for more, check out Sanjay Dutt’s upcoming films for a different kind of drama.

Our Take

We think this is a perfect match. Claire Danes has a way of making you feel everything she feels. She has that raw, real energy on screen. It is her signature.

The show name Lovesick sounds a bit old-school. But with this team, it will likely be modern and sharp. We can’t wait to see the first photos. It is going to be a must-watch for anyone who loves a good cry.
