‘Voicemails for Isabelle’: Lukas Gage Shares New Update About Netflix Rom-Com
What To Know
- Lukas Gage stars alongside Zoey Deutch in Netflix’s upcoming rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle.
- Gage described the movie as part of a nostalgic rom-com renaissance and gave Swooon an update on the film.
- The film follows a woman who copes with her sister’s death by leaving voicemails on her old number.
After starring in Netflix’s People We Meet on Vacation, Lukas Gage is set to appear in yet another rom-com: Voicemails for Isabelle. Beyond both movies including him in the cast and coming from the same streaming service, the actor says they have something else in common.
“I think with People We Meet on Vacation and Voicemails for Isabelle, we’re in this rom-com renaissance that is what rom-coms used to be,” Gage told Swooon. “Like, Never Been Kissed and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, where it’s bringing back that nostalgic rom-com thing that we kind of shifted from a little bit, and now I think we’re back on course. The right rom-coms are back again. I’m telling you right now, these two movies are bangers.”
Gage filmed all of his scenes with Nick Offerman and Zoey Deutch, the latter of whom leads the film as a woman coping with her sister’s death by leaving her voicemails. She doesn’t know, however, that Isabelle’s phone number was reassigned to a real estate agent in New York, who receives all of Jill’s humorous and heartfelt messages.
People We Meet on Vacation already has its release date, but when will you be able to catch Gage and the rest of the cast in Voicemails for Isabelle? Swooon has all the latest updates about the premiere date, plot, and more below.
What is Voicemails for Isabelle about?
Voicemails for Isabelle — which made the 2019 Black List of the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood — follows Jill in the wake of her sister’s death from cystic fibrosis. According to an expanded synopsis, Jill starts calling her sister’s old number and chronicling her messy life in California, where she’s trying to make it as a TV writer and find a boyfriend. Her updates wind up in real estate agent Austin’s inbox.
He becomes intrigued by Jill’s stories, which include her encounters with a charming British dating coach Chad. When Chad ghosts her, Austin books a ticket to the West Coast, but when he meets Jill, he has to decide if coming clean about the voicemails is worth the risk.
When does Voicemails for Isabelle come out?
When we spoke to Gage in late September 2025, he revealed that filming had recently wrapped. There’s no official release date yet, but we could possibly be looking at a late 2026 or early 2027 premiere. Check back for updates!
Who is in the cast of Voicemails for Isabelle?
In addition to Deutch and Offerman, the cast also includes Nick Robinson as Austin. At this point, only Deutch and Robinson’s specific roles have been disclosed.
Gage will appear along with Harry Shum Jr., Ciara Bravo, Megan Danso, Toby Sandeman, Spencer Lord, and Gil Bellows. Leah McKendrick, known for 2023’s Scrambled, doubles as the film’s writer and director, and she also has an on-screen role.
