Raise your glass! Minka Kelly stars in Netflix holiday rom-com Champagne Problems

As a seasoned gamer and film enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Minka Kelly’s upcoming Netflix projects have me more excited than a level boss with a full health bar! The prospect of her starring in not one but two Netflix productions is nothing short of a dream come true for this long-time fan who has followed her career since her breakout role on Friday Night Lights.


Minka Kelly is set to dominate Netflix, a news that brings me great joy. Apart from sharing top billing in Netflix’s upcoming drama series, “Ransom Canyon”, she will also make her debut in a Netflix romantic comedy with the movie titled “Champagne Problems“.

In the festive romantic comedy, Kelly takes on the role of an executive who journeys to France during the Christmas season in an attempt to secure a once-in-a-lifetime deal with a highly profitable champagne company. (There’s definitely a hint of “Emily in Paris” with the French setting and champagne business.) However, Kelly’s character unexpectedly finds herself caught up in a romantic entanglement with the son of the champagne brand’s founder. Incredible luck!

As a gamer, I can’t wait to dive into “Champagne Problems,” directed by Mark Steven Johnson – a filmmaker who has previously crafted two delightful Netflix romantic comedies that have won over many hearts! He was behind the camera for both the 2020 hit “Love, Guaranteed” starring Rachael Leigh Cook and Damon Wayans Jr., as well as last year’s beloved “Love in the Villa” with Kat Graham and Tom Hopper. With such a talented hand at the helm, I have no doubt that this upcoming movie will be a must-watch!

In their announcement about the film, Netflix didn’t provide specifics on casting or release date, only mentioning that further details will be revealed soon. Similarly, they haven’t disclosed when “Champagne Problems” will become available for streaming, but it has been labeled as an “upcoming release.” It’s possible that this movie could premiere during Netflix’s Christmas programming in 2024 if production moves swiftly, although a 2025 debut remains plausible.

As a quick note: If the film fails to incorporate either “Champagne Problems” by Taylor Swift (a poignant piano ballad) or “Champagne Problems” by Katy Perry (an underappreciated disco-pop love song), it would be a significant oversight. Imagine our character, filled with longing, strolling through wintery Paris to the rhythm of Swift’s lesser-known hit, followed by a jubilant finale where we dance away with Perry’s tune!

As a devoted admirer of Minka Kelly since her captivating performance in “Friday Night Lights”, I can’t contain my enthusiasm to witness her brilliance in one of Netflix’s beloved, heartwarming romantic comedies. She’s an actress I’ve longed to see more of, and Netflix is making that dream come true with the releases of “Champagne Problems” and “Ransom Canyon”.

Following the completion of filming for the contemporary Western romantic drama series in June, Kelly expressed that her role was “the best job I’ve ever had.” Being an actress with a 20-year career behind her, this is particularly noteworthy. It’s always captivating to see actors rediscover their passion for acting, and it’s certain that the upcoming series Ransom Canyon will be even more endearing because of this renewed enthusiasm.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about upcoming releases! It seems like the drama series on Netflix might drop in spring 2025, but here’s some fantastic news: Kelly’s new movie role could hit our screens even earlier or right after in fall 2025. With Netflix revealing more details about “Champagne Problems,” we’ll be sure to keep you updated on casting and release info that fans are eagerly waiting for. Who do you think would make the perfect leading man for Kelly? Let’s share our thoughts!
