Miranda Cosgrove Stars in Netflix’s ‘The Wrong Paris’ This September
A new romantic comedy with a twist sees iCarly alum Miranda Cosgrove trading the Eiffel Tower for cowboy boots in Netflix’s latest feel-good film.
Netflix has unveiled the trailer for its upcoming romantic comedy The Wrong Paris, premiering on September 12. The film follows Dawn, played by Miranda Cosgrove, who dreams of attending art school in Paris, France. When she can’t afford the move, she joins a reality dating show called The Honey Pot, thinking it will fly her to her dream city.
Instead, Dawn finds herself in Paris, Texas, a far cry from the romance she envisioned. Determined to get eliminated quickly, she clashes with the show’s bachelor, cowboy Trey McGallan, portrayed by Pierson Fodé. However, unexpected chemistry soon complicates her exit plan.
The trailer highlights a mix of fish-out-of-water comedy and heartfelt moments, with wide Texas landscapes replacing Parisian boulevards. Yvonne Orji (Insecure) and Madison Pettis (He’s All That) round out the supporting cast, promising additional laughs and charm.
For Cosgrove, The Wrong Paris marks a notable return to leading roles, shifting from her Nickelodeon roots in iCarly to a mature rom-com setting. The casting has fueled excitement among long-time fans eager to see her in a new light.
Netflix’s promotional push emphasizes the film’s “feel-good” tone and “hilarious plot twist,” positioning it as perfect weekend streaming fare. The cultural clash between Texas ranch life and Dawn’s Parisian dreams adds an extra layer of humor and warmth to the narrative.
Romantic comedy fans may find The Wrong Paris appealing for its blend of classic miscommunication tropes, reality TV satire, and a slow-burn romance. Early social media reactions have already dubbed it a potential “guilty pleasure hit” for the fall season.
With its September release, the film joins Netflix’s growing roster of lighthearted originals, catering to audiences looking for escapist entertainment in the back half of the year.
