If you thought 2018 was the year of the rom-com, just wait. Netflix announced on Friday (January 11) that Noah Centineo is starring in his third romantic comedy for the streaming platform—alongside, wait for it, Riverdale star Camila Mendes.
The movie is called The Perfect Date, and according to IMDB, it centers on a high school senior (Centineo) who launches a dating app wherein he becomes a stand-in boyfriend for people upon request. Laura Marano, who you probably know from Austin & Ally, also stars with Mendes and Centineo.
"Very Important Announcement Alert🚨 @ncentineo will pretend to be your boyfriend this summer! Well, he will in the Netflix original movie The Perfect Date w/ @camimendes and @lauramarano," Netflix posted to Instagram alongside two stills from the movie featuring Mendes, Marano, and Centineo.

Netflix was largely responsible for bringing back the rom-com in 2018 with its slate of summer movies, which included The Kissing Booth, To All the Boys I've Loved Before, and Sierra Burgess Is a Loser. Centineo emerged as a breakout star from both Sierra Burgess and To All the Boys, and was quickly dubbed the Internet's boyfriend by, well, the Internet. He's also set to appear in the Charlie's Angels reboot later this year, starring Kristen Stewart and directed by Elizabeth Banks.
Here's hoping The Perfect Date is just one of many romantic comedies Netflix has in store for us this year.
