The upcoming Netflix Bodyguard movie will adapt Katherine Center’s 2022 novel The Bodyguard. In the story, a bodyguard is hired to protect a famous movie star. The guard must pose as the star’s girlfriend while they spend the holidays on a ranch in Montana. Chaos follows as the two try to keep up the charade.
Jared Padalecki and Leighton Meester have entered talks to lead the Netflix Bodyguard movie. Padalecki is best known for his role in Supernatural and his recent guest spot on Fire Country. Meester rose to fame as a fashion icon on Gossip Girl and has since starred in the Netflix thriller The Weekend Away.
Jared Padalecki’s Recent Work
Padalecki will appear in the final season of The Boys. The role will reunite him with former Supernatural co stars Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins. He also made a brief return to his Gilmore Girls character in the 2016 miniseries Gilmore Girls A Year in the Life.
Meester is set to join the second season of Nobody Wants This. The series is led by her husband Adam Brody and Kristen Bell. In addition, she will appear in the HBO comedy series I Love LA created by Rachel Sennott.
Production Details and Timeline
Production is expected to start in December in Calgary, Alberta. The project currently has no announced director, writer, or release date. Fans hope the negotiations will close soon so filming can begin as planned.
The pairing of Padalecki and Meester promises chemistry and humor. Both actors bring a strong fan base from teen dramas and recent streaming hits. The romance set against a snowy ranch backdrop adds a fresh twist to the bodyguard genre. If the deal finalizes, the Netflix Bodyguard movie could become a highlight of the streaming platform’s original film slate.
