The sapphic cinematic rumors are true: Greta Lee and Rebecca Ferguson are confirmed for the romantic comedy Honeymoon / Funeral, which will focus on two women who have a meet-cute during a flight from L.A. to London, where both women are going for very different purposes.
If the phenomenon of U-Hauling has taught us anything, it’s that a 10-hour flight is plenty of time for two queer women to fall in love and begin yearning.
Deadline reported that the film has been shooting in London after Lee and Ferguson were spotted kissing on set in front of Horse Guards Parade, a parade ground in central London in early August. Those images have already set the sapphic internet ablaze.
“REBECCA FERGUSON AND GRETA LEE KISSING IN LESBIAN ROMCOM,” one person wrote on X while sharing one of the images early in the summer.
Directed by Nahnatchka Khan with a screenplay written by Julia Bicknell, the film will follow “two women who meet on a flight from LA to London – one en route to her honeymoon by herself after being left at the altar by her girlfriend, the other headed home for her mother’s funeral – and wind up spending the week together,” per Deadline’s description.
There have yet to be more details released about this rom-com, including a release date, but we know that sapphics everywhere will be tuning in to witness Lee and Ferguson’s onscreen chemistry. The two actresses have previously worked together on Kathryn Bigelow’s 2025 political thriller A House of Dynamite.
Though neither Lee or Ferguson are openly queer, the film will still be a welcome addition to the small but growing canon of films centering sapphic love stories. In recent years, films like Love Lies Bleeding, Bottoms, Honey Don’t!, and Girls Like Girls have all put explicitly sapphic romances on the big screen to a degree we haven’t seen before.
It’s been nearly two years since this very publication declared 2024 the “year of the lesbian.” Here’s hoping Lee and Ferguson have the power to keep that trend going.
