‘Love Jones’ Alums Nia Long & Larenz Tate To Reunite On Netflix Romantic Drama
Written by Tariq on October 16, 2025
According to Deadline, Nia Long and Larenz Tate, stars of New Line’s romantic drama Love Jones, who have more recently worked together on Lionsgate’s Michael Jackson biopic Michael, are set to reteam once again on an untitled romantic drama from Sylvie’s Love helmer Eugene Ashe that has been greenlighted at Netflix. Inspired by Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite, the debut album from R&B artist Maxwell, the film’s logline is being kept under wraps. Ashe is directing from a script written with Kay Oyegun, a writer-producer best known for work on NBC’s This Is Us. Marking the feature debut of Theodore Witcher, Long and Tate’s cult classic Love Jones is a ’90s Chicago story chronicling the burgeoning romance between Darius Lovehall, a young poet and novelist played by Tate, and Nina Mosley, a photographer portrayed by Long. In Antoine Fuqua’s Michael, slated for release on April 24, 2026, Long plays Jackson family matriarch Katherine, with Tate as Motown Records’ Berry Gordy.
