When recently divorced art curator Julia Day’s (Julia Or- mond, Elizabeth in drama show Incorporated, 2016-2017) kids bail on her 60th birthday, she cancels the dinner reservation and drives out of town to spend the night alone in six-part British miniseries Gold Digger (2019). But Julia’s evening takes an unexpected turn when she meets much younger copywriter hunk Benjamin Greene (Ben Barnes, Ryan in 2014 romance movie Jackie & Ryan) at a museum. Seeing that she’s 24 years his senior, Julia doesn’t read into his advances when he insists that they have a drink together at a pub. He walks her back to her hotel, one thing leads to another, and they land in bed.
