Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan eat burgers in Love Again

Since romantic comedies are generally only as good as the chemistry between the two leads, who are the stars that we’re rooting to fall in love in the Love Again cast?

2023 new movie Love Again follows Mira Ray, who is grieving the death of her fiance. To help deal with her grief, she starts to text his old phone number. That's where Rob Burns comes in, who has been assigned the phone number that Mira is texting. Rob loves the texts and wonders what would happen if he could meet the woman writing them. Could it be love?

Let’s break down who plays Mira and Rob in Love Again, as well as the cast of supporting characters that help them along the way, including a music legend making in a rare acting role.
