After years making films, Chad Hartigan still has moments of surprise.

The director had just finished working on 2020鈥檚 鈥淟ittle Fish,鈥� when the script for 鈥淭he Threesome鈥� crossed his path. He was also becoming a dad.

鈥淚 was looking for something lighter,鈥� he says. 鈥淚 deeply related to all of the characters. I felt like this was just a surprising script. It kept moving in a direction that I enjoyed. It was a rare experience and I knew I had to capture this story on film.鈥�

Hartigan says 鈥淭he Threesome鈥� brings romantic comedy back to the mainstream.

According to Netflix, the story follows Connor, played by Jonah Hauer-King, who鈥檚 impulsive longtime crush Olivia, played by Zoey Deutch, draws him into a wild, seductive threesome with the alluring Jenny, played by Ruby Cruz. What starts as a spontaneous thrill soon spirals into something far more complicated, forcing both women to confront the fallout and pulling all three into the chaos of adulthood.

Hartigan says getting any movie off the ground 鈥� especially one that was taking a few risks 鈥� takes time and patience.

Working within the romantic comedy genre, Hartigan and his crew had to get the meet-cutes just right.

鈥淚t did take a long time to put together,鈥� he says. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 want to be afraid of chasing a joke and we went for it.鈥�

The film is directed by Hartigan and written by Ethan Ogilby, who previously worked on 鈥淭he Simpsons.鈥�

In 2022, the project had Logan Lerman and Phoebe Dynevor attached to lead roles, but the cast evolved over time. Production began in early 2024 in Arkansas.

Hartigan wanted to put all his effort into getting the rom-com off the ground.

He says the film is genuinely romantic and funny but is populated with messy characters and complicated dynamics, dealing with grown-up issues and situations. 

鈥淲hen I first read Ethan Ogilby鈥檚 script, I saw my opportunity to attempt that type of rom-com. Something that can tip its hat to the wholesome golden age while adding a distinctly contemporary sense of humor and point of view. It also didn鈥檛 hurt that I got the script in summer 2020, a few months deep into a global lockdown that had me retreating to all of my favorite comfort movies to get me through the uncertain days and nights. At that point in time I was convinced that there may be nothing more noble in cinema than giving an audience an enjoyable 90 minutes to forget their problems.鈥�

Hartigan says over the course of his career, he鈥檚 tried to bounce around in different genres. One common denominator of good storytelling for him is characters who are simply trying their best to do the right thing.

鈥淚 find there to be such a beautiful dignity to it and always feels refreshing amongst a sea of films building conflict around bad-faith actors,鈥� he says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a testament to Ethan that he鈥檚 able to mine so much friction from these characters while never judging any of them, and offering genuine surprises where others might have opted for standard beats. I felt like I had an idea of what I was going to be getting from a movie called 鈥楾he Threesome鈥� and then was given something much more sophisticated, tender and nuanced.鈥�

Hartigan was happy he was able to get Deutch, Hauer-King and Cruz in the cast.

鈥淓ach one of them was great and so committed,鈥� he says. 鈥淭here wasn鈥檛 a dud amongst them. When you have actors that are fully invested in the project, it makes it so much better. There was such joy. At the end of filming, we all got matching tattoos.鈥�
