Summary A Family Affair features a star-studded cast including Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman, and Joey King in a unique romantic comedy. The first look images show the fun and romantic dynamic between Efron and Kidman's characters, with King caught in the middle. With a promising cast and storyline, A Family Affair hopes to stand out in the crowded rom-com field when it hits Netflix on June 28. Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman are smitten with each other in the first images from the new Netflix rom-com A Family Affair. The upcoming movie sees Joey King playing a young assistant to a movie star who finds herself in a sticky situation when said movie star falls in love with her mom. Directed by Richard LaGravenese, A Family Affair features a leading cast including King, Efron, Kidman, Kathy Bates, Liza Koshy, Sherry Cola, Gisette Valentin, and Olivia Macklin. Now, Netflix reveals first look images from A Family Affair. They give a look at the cast in their roles, showing the romance between Efron and Kidman’s characters. Check out the images below: The first image shows King’s character at work with Efron’s movie star. In the second image, Efron and Kidman lovingly walk down the street. The next two images show Kidman and King with Bates’ character, and then King working with Koshy.
