Grant, an Oscar and three-time Emmy nominee known for her work in 'Unbelievable,' took the reins as the writer and director. "The film continues the creative partnership between Netflix and 3dot, which has thus far produced the streamer's upcoming thriller series, Anatomy of a Scandal," she was reported as saying by Deadline.

Netflix's creative lead for the project, Kira Goldberg, was joined by Sarah Timberman and Liza Chasin from 3dot Productions as producers. This talented ensemble was responsible for bringing 'Lonely Planet' to life, marking another promising addition to Netflix's robust lineup, which included adaptations of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestseller 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' and Diane Cardwell’s memoir 'Rockaway.'

Looking back, it's no surprise that 'Lonely Planet' stirred up a storm of anticipation among fans. With the likes of Laura Dern, who had just bagged an Oscar for her role in Noah Baumbach’s 'Marriage Story,' and the charismatic Liam Hemsworth, known for 'Poker Face' and 'The Hunger Games,' the film promised an explosive chemistry and compelling storytelling.
