Chef’s Kiss Trailer and Key Art Unveiled by Roku
Roku has unveiled the official trailer and key art for its Original romantic comedy Chef’s Kiss, starring Adrienne Bailon-Houghton (The Real, The Cheetah Girls) and Tim Robards (Voltron, Street Fighter). The film will debut on The Roku Channel on February 10, 2026.
In Chef’s Kiss, Lauren Navarro, a driven American marketing executive, travels to Tuscany to revitalize the struggling Russo Pasta Sauce brand. When Russo heir Francesca refuses to be the brand’s face, Lauren must work with Mason, the handsome but reluctant chef of the family’s trattoria.
As they fight to preserve the legacy of a cherished family business, Lauren and Mason clash, connect, and find an unexpected romance.
Written by Amelie Bonnet, the delectable love story is set against the rich culinary and cultural backdrop of Tuscany. Bailon-Houghton also serves as executive producer of Chef’s Kiss.
Chef’s Kiss also stars Julia Vosnakis (From All Sides, Waltzing Matilda) as Isabella, Nat Buchanan (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) as Maddie, and acclaimed screen veteran Dina Panozzo (The Last Days of the Space Age, Darby & Joan) as Francesca Russo, the fiery matriarch caught between tradition and transformation.
When production began in New South Wales last October, Roku Originals’ Morgan Pichinson said that Chef’s Kiss is “a romantic comedy that features what our audiences already love—stories full of heart, humor, and connection. Our viewers devour rom-coms, especially during moments that matter to them, and we can’t wait to bring them a new love story to savour just in time for Valentine’s Day.”
The project is being brought to life by producers Steve Jaggi and Kylie Mascord, with Jaggi emphasising his delight in bringing this romance to the screen. “Romance has always been at the heart of what we do,” said Jaggi. “‘Chef’s Kiss’ reflects our ongoing commitment to producing engaging, internationally appealing romance films, and we’re thrilled to be doing so in collaboration with Roku.”
Morgan Pichinson and Sabrina Lyall oversaw production of the movie for Roku Originals. Jaggi Entertainment is the production company, and Steve Jaggi and Kylie Mascord are the producers.
Production took place in Sydney and the surrounding area, doubling for Italy, with the feature set to premiere on The Roku Channel in the U.S. and Australian cinemas through Romance Society.
The Roku Channel is available to stream for free on Roku devices and TVs, online at TheRokuChannel.com, and on iOS and Android devices, Amazon Fire TVs, Samsung TVs, Google TVs, and other Android TV OS devices.
