Newsweek #Newsweek
The Lost Husband has shot right to the top of the Netflix movie chart and the overall top 10, as thousands crave a more wholesome romantic story than seen in streaming content like 365 Dni and Dark Desire.
In the movie, originally released in April 2020, Leslie Bibb plays a woman who comes to stay with her goat farming aunt after her husband dies, while Josh Duhamel is the rough and ready man who teaches her how to farm and, perhaps, how to love again. The cast of the Netflix movie also includes Nora Dunn, Isaiah Whitlock Jr., and Kevin Alejandro.

Portraying the character is Josh Duhamel, who also starred in small-town romance Safe Haven (whose poster is almost identical to that of The Lost Husband).

Kevin Alejandro – Danny
Libby’s original husband, meanwhile, is Danny, who is played by Kevin Alejandro. The actor will be known to LuciFans as Dan Espinoza in Lucifer, while the star has also had roles in True Blood and Arrow.
Sharon Lawrence – Marsha
Libby comes to her aunt’s country house to get away from her mother, the emotionally abusive Marsha. Bringing the character to evil life is Sharon Lawrence, the four-time Emmy nominee for NYPD Blue and Grey’s Anatomy. She has also recently had guest roles on Shameless, The Ranch, and Dynasty.
Nora Dunn – Jean
To escape her mother, Libby relies on her Aunt Jean and her country house and goat farm. Nora Dunn portrays Jean, and has previously appeared in multi-episode arcs in Entourage, New Girl, and The Nanny.
Isiah Whitlock Jr. – Russ McAllen
Though The Lost Husband focuses on the attraction between Libby and James, Jean is also getting some herself. Her boyfriend is Isiah Whitlock Jr.’s Russ McAllen. Whitlock is best known for his work with the director Spike Lee and has appeared in six of his movies so far including 25th Hour, BlacKkKlansman, and his recent Netflix movie Da 5 Bloods.
