Lindsay Lohan is making a comeback! The iconic actress is booked and busy, as Netflix announced she will be starring in a new romantic comedy.

The 34-year-old Hollywood star has been casted as a lead in the upcoming Christmas movie, returning to acting after a long hiatus from her professional career.

Described as a “newly engaged, spoiled hotel heiress,” the storyline follows Lindsay’s character, after she suffers a skiing accident and gets amnesia, finding herself in the care of “a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter in the days leading up to Christmas.”

The film is set to be produced in November and will be directed by Janeen Damien, with the original script penned by Jeff Bonnett, Ron Oliver, Janeen Damian and Michael Damian.

Lindsay’s success has had undeniable success in Hollywood, starring in The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, Herbie: Fully Reloaded, and Just My Luck.

However her success was severely overshadowed by tabloids focused on her personal issues, ultimately moving to Europe and Dubai.
