Groom & Two Brides: Netflix’s New Romantic Comedy Explores the Chaos of a Double Engagement

Double Trouble: Love in the Time of Engagement
Anna Green

Netflix is preparing for the premiere of Groom & Two Brides, a romantic comedy whose premise dives into a unique and chaotic romantic entanglement. The feature film introduces Adam, a protagonist described as a man “allergic to love.”

Despite his declared aversion to commitment, the plot’s core is woven around a deep situational irony: Adam “somehow ends up engaged” to two different women simultaneously.

The film’s main narrative is driven by the protagonist’s need to navigate this unsustainable circumstance. According to the official synopsis, after finding himself in this position, Adam “must now try to keep his double life a secret.” The story explores the complications and “chaotic realizations about love” that arise from his attempt to manage two parallel engagements without being discovered.

The Love Triangle: Characters and Motivations

The film delves into this conflict through the characterization of its three central figures. The protagonist, Adam, is played by actor Abdullah Boushehri. His reluctance toward romance isn’t just a character trait; he is described as a “charming but unlucky-in-love man who had sworn off romance after a heartbreak.”

It is this protagonist, marked by a previous heartbreak, who finds himself at the center of the love triangle, torn between two fiancées who represent opposite facets of his life and desires.

On one side is Yasmin, played by Laila Abdallah. The character is described as “his boss’s daughter” and “a picture of perfection: smart, serene.” Yasmin symbolizes a path of stability, social approval, and professional advancement, representing the “kind of life Adam thinks he wants.”

On the opposite side is Sama, played by Lulwa Al Mulla. Sama is “his first love, wild and spontaneous.” Crucially, she is also “the one who once broke his heart” and the reason Adam “swore off marriage forever.”

The film’s central conflict, therefore, transcends logistics. It becomes an internal confrontation for Adam, trapped between the security of a future he thinks he wants (Yasmin) and the risk of a past he never got over (Sama). The plot evolves beyond just “juggling lovers” to become an exploration of “confronting who you’ve become” and “the kind of love you’re truly ready for.”

The identified main cast is rounded out by the participation of actor Hamad Ashkanani, although details about his specific role in the plot have not been provided.

The Creative Team and Production

The direction of Groom & Two Brides is handled by Elie Semaan, who is also credited under the variations Elie El Semaan or Elie ElSemaan.

The screenplay for this romantic comedy is the work of a writing team composed of Eyad Saleh and Rami Ali. However, some sources mention only Eyad Saleh (with the spelling variation Eiad Saleh).

On the production side, the film is backed by producer Jamal Sannan and his company, Eagle Films. A relevant detail is that the project is presented as a work from “the creators of Honeymoonish.” This connection establishes a direct creative and commercial lineage with that film, linking Sannan’s team and Eagle Films to a previous success in the same genre and suggesting a continuity in the comedy’s tone and approach.

Availability

Groom & Two Brides will be distributed globally on the Netflix streaming platform.

The film is scheduled to premiere on November 7.
