If you thought summer heatwaves were enough, Netflix is about to turn up the temperature even more. Hot on the heels of the 365 Days franchise, a brand-new German romance, Fall for Me, drops August 21—and it looks set to be one of the steamiest hits of the season.
Fall for Me: familiar face from The Empress leads
In Fall for Me, city slicker Lilli (played by Sevnja Jung) jets off to Mallorca, hoping to relax with her sister Valeria. Instead, she discovers Valeria’s engaged to a dashing Frenchman, Manu, with plans to turn a cliffside villa into a luxury B&B. A wary Lilli decides to investigate—and meets Tom (Theo Trebs), the enigmatic German club owner whose magnetic gaze sets off an instant, fiery connection. But when their whirlwind affair collides with a dark family secret, sparks may fly too close to the fire.
If Jung’s name rings a bell, you might recall her memorable turn as Countess Louise in the Netflix historical drama The Empress. She’s also appeared in Crooks and Dark, while Trebs, known in Germany for films like Rammbock and The White Ribbon, makes his Netflix debut here. Their sizzling chemistry promises a passionate ride through sun-drenched beaches and stormy hearts alike.
