Lindsay Lohan is glowing on the job. The 40-year-old actress has been spotted filming her new Netflix romantic comedy Return to You in Toronto, looking radiant between takes, according to EntertainmentNow and Just Jared.
Netflix announced the film on September 28, with production running from September 28 to November 10, 2026. Lohan stars as a powerful but lonely attorney who mistakenly receives a deeply emotional DVD recorded by a dying woman for her husband — and, armed only with the clues on the disc, sets out to find him. Henry Golding co-stars as the grieving widower.
A reunion two decades in the making
The project reunites Lohan with director Mark Waters, who directed her in two of her most iconic films: Freaky Friday and Mean Girls. Along with starring, Lohan is also producing the film, which is set in 2008. The screenplay is by Eric Champnella.
Set photos show Lohan in sleek, business-chic outfits fitting her lawyer character — a black blazer over a black dress — laughing with crew members between takes outside a Toronto office building.
Toronto feels like home
Toronto holds special meaning for Lohan: she filmed much of Mean Girls there back in 2004. Between takes, she has been enjoying family time in the city, including a visit to the Toronto Zoo that she gushed about on social media.
Over the summer, Lohan wrapped production on her upcoming Hulu series Count My Lies, co-starring Shailene Woodley, Kit Harington and Katherine LaNasa. Netflix has not announced a release date for Return to You, though industry outlets point to a mid-to-late 2027 window.
Lohan’s career renaissance
Return to You continues Lohan’s remarkable career renaissance, which began with her Netflix holiday rom-coms and has grown into a full-fledged comeback. With the Hulu series Count My Lies also in the can, the actress has a packed slate ahead.
For fans who grew up on Mean Girls and Freaky Friday, seeing Lohan reunite with Waters — and light up a Toronto set more than two decades later — is its own kind of happy ending. The 2008-set romance can’t arrive soon enough.
