Chad Michael Murray Brings Holiday Magic With a Spicy Twist in ‘The Merry Gentlemen’ Trailer
Netflix is ready to bring the Christmas spirit with a spicy twist in the trailer for The Merry Gentlemen released Thursday.
In the trailer, Britt Robertson’s character, Ashley, a former big-city dancer, is determined to save her parents’ small-town performing venue, The Rhythm Room, from closing down. As a means of bringing in more customers, she stages an all-male, Christmas-themed revue.

“We are going to make this show something truly special. Something this town has never seen before,” Ashley says.
With help from Chad Michael Murray, who portrays romantic lead and contractor Luke, and others who work at The Rhythm Room, Ashley creates a new holiday entertainment spectacle known as the Merry Gentlemen (think a tamer Magic Mike but for the holidays.) Though the new show generates excitement, sparks may also fly between Ashley and Luke.
Marla Sokoloff, Beth Broderick, Michael Gross, Maxwell Caulfield, Hector David Jr., Colt Prattes and Marc Anthony Samuel also star.
Peter Sullivan directed the film with Sokoloff serving as the screenwriter. Jeffrey Schenck, Barry Barnholtz, Brian Nolan and Sullivan produce.
The Merry Gentlemen joins a lineup of holiday films set to premiere on Netflix including Our Little Secret starring Lindsay Lohan, Meet Me Next Christmas starring Christina Milian and Hot Frosty starring Lacey Chabert.
The Merry Gentlemen will release globally on Netflix on Nov. 20.
