The Wrong-Number Rom-Com You’ll Fall For: Netflix’s ‘Voicemails for Isabelle’ Is Coming This June

If you’ve been waiting for a genuinely fresh romantic comedy on Netflix — one with heart, humour, and a premise you haven’t seen a hundred times before — your summer just got a lot better. Voicemails for Isabelle is officially landing on June 19, 2026, and the cast alone is enough to get excited.

The Wrong-Number Key Details at a Glance

What Is Voicemails for Isabelle About?

The premise is deceptively simple and completely charming. Jill, reeling from the loss of her sister Isabelle to cystic fibrosis, copes by leaving raw, funny voicemails to her late sister’s old number — venting about her chaotic love life in LA. What she doesn’t know is that Isabelle’s number has been reassigned to Austin, a New York real estate agent who becomes quietly hooked on her stories. Intrigued and a little impulsive, Austin flies to LA to meet her. They hit it off — but Jill has no idea he’s been listening all along.

It’s warm, it’s a little messy, and it’s the kind of love story that sneaks up on you. Think romantic comedy at its most human — grief, growth, and accidental connection all tangled together.

The script has serious pedigree too. Written by Leah McKendrick, it was featured on the prestigious 2019 Black List — the annual industry roundup of the best unproduced screenplays — and had Hailee Steinfeld originally attached before eventually finding its home at Netflix. McKendrick now directs the film herself and also appears on screen.

The Cast

Zoey Deutch (Not Okay, Buffaloed) is the perfect fit for Jill — she has an effortless ability to make chaotic, emotionally messy characters feel completely real. Nick Robinson (Love, Simon) brings warmth and restraint to his role, and the supporting roster — featuring Parks and Recreation‘s Nick Offerman and The White Lotus‘ Lukas Gage — promises plenty of scene-stealing moments.

A Long Time Coming

This film has had quite the journey. Originally announced in 2019 with Sony Pictures attached and Hailee Steinfeld set to star, the project stalled in development for years. McKendrick kept busy with other work before Netflix finally brought the vision to life — and honestly, the wait sounds like it was worth it. The film was shot across Vancouver and San Francisco’s most scenic spots, including Fisherman’s Wharf, Golden Gate Park, and Union Square, giving it a warm and cinematic visual backdrop.
