Prime Video Drops Trailer for Rom-Com Maintenance Required
Madelaine Petsch and Jacob Scipio star in Prime Video’s new romantic comedy, a modern twist on the classic “You’ve Got Mail,” premiering October 8, 2025.
Prime Video has released the official trailer for Maintenance Required, a romantic comedy directed by Lacey Uhlemeyer. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios, the film reimagines the timeless “You’ve Got Mail” storyline for a digital age, centering on anonymous online connections and real-world rivalries. It premieres exclusively on the streaming platform on October 8, 2025.
The story follows Charlie, played by Madelaine Petsch, who runs an all-female mechanic shop in Oakland. Charlie unknowingly develops a deep online bond with Beau, portrayed by Jacob Scipio, a rival businessman who has just opened a competing shop across the street. Neither realizes they are confiding in the same person they are battling professionally.
Petsch, best known for her role on Riverdale, not only stars in the film but also serves as an executive producer. Her performance signals an exciting new chapter in her career as she expands her creative presence behind the camera. Scipio, meanwhile, brings charisma and comedic timing, marking his latest major role after appearances in high-profile action and drama projects.
The supporting cast includes Madison Bailey from Outer Banks, Katy O’Brian of Love Lies Bleeding, social media star Inanna Sarkis, comedian Matteo Lane, and veteran actor Jim Gaffigan. Together, they round out a diverse ensemble designed to appeal to both rom-com fans and younger streaming audiences.
Director Lacey Uhlemeyer, who co-wrote the script alongside Roo Berry and Erin Falconer, delivers her feature debut with this project. Remarkably, filming wrapped in just two days in September 2024, with production taking place in Big Sur, California, and the shop scenes set in Oakland. The quick turnaround adds a unique backstory to the film’s creation.
The trailer highlights the witty exchanges and comedic misunderstandings that define the film’s tone. Its modern approach reflects how anonymity and digital communication can complicate, and sometimes enhance, real-world relationships. Fans of classic romantic comedies will recognize familiar beats, but with a fresh spin tailored to today’s streaming culture.
As Amazon MGM Studios continues to invest in original programming, Maintenance Required underscores the company’s efforts to revitalize the romantic comedy genre for streaming audiences. With strong leads, sharp writing, and a quirky premise, it aims to capture the hearts of viewers who crave lighthearted yet emotionally resonant stories.
The video titled Maintenance Required – Official Trailer debuted on YouTube on September 16, 2025. Since its release, it has drawn attention for its chemistry between leads and the nostalgia of its updated premise, positioning it as one of Prime Video’s most anticipated fall releases.
