Jennifer Lopez is set to reunite with her Selena movie costar Edward James Olmos in an upcoming Netflix film.
“From ‘Selena’ to now, this journey has come full circle…SWIPE to see the big news. We’re thrilled to welcome the incredible Edward James Olmos to ‘Office Romance!’” Lopez, 55, wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday, March 27.
The caption was accompanied by a throwback photo and a more recent snap of Lopez and Olmos.
