First and Forever (2026)

Duffy loves her dad, her cat and Minneapolis Coyotes football, so she is devastated to become public enemy number one after pushing the teams mascot away for getting too flirtatious. To clear her name, she agrees to a live interview, only to find herself sharing the screen with star player Connor Cunningham. Connor expects to read a statement on television, not argue with a fan, but their fiery banter leaves viewers obsessed. His PR team sees an opportunity and encourages him to ask Duffy out, with one catch: she cannot know that the date is fake. Different kinds of sparks soon fly between them, but Connor cannot keep his secret forever. If he drops the ball this time, he may lose more than a game. This English-language romantic comedy is by Lynn Painter.
