Three young actors carry all of Love Me, Love Me, the Prime Video romance that landed on February 13, 2026. Mia Jenkins, Pepe Barroso Silva and Luca Melucci play the love triangle at the heart of the story. Here’s the fun part: they are not exactly new faces. Two of them, in fact, come from shows you have probably already watched.
Mia Jenkins is June
Mia Jenkins, an English actress born in 2000, plays June, the lead who moves to Milan after a loss. For teen audiences, she is far from a stranger. Before Love Me, Love Me, in fact, she had already appeared in Disney Channel’s The Lodge and, above all, in Soy Luna, where she played Emma. So fans of Disney teen series likely crossed paths with her years ago.
More recently, moreover, Jenkins showed up in Netflix’s Geek Girl and in BBC Three’s Mood. June, however, is her first true leading role in an international film.
Pepe Barroso Silva is James
James, the underground MMA fighter who sets the triangle on fire, is played by Pepe Barroso Silva. The 29-year-old actor was born in Madrid and trained between Spain and Los Angeles. Before acting, in particular, he studied at UCLA on a sports scholarship.
In Spain, audiences had already spotted him in Netflix’s High Seas and in the period drama 45 Revoluciones. Then came the international leap. He appeared in Neill Blomkamp’s Gran Turismo (2023) and in the historical series Those About to Die, filmed in Rome alongside Anthony Hopkins. For him, therefore, James marks a first international leading role.
Luca Melucci is Will
Will, the honor student who offers June the “safe” path, is played by Luca Melucci. The 27-year-old from Rome actually comes from the fashion world. Indeed, he has walked the runway for several brands, including Giorgio Armani in 2023 and 2024.
On the acting side, instead, Italian viewers will mostly remember him from SKAM Italia. Besides, he took part in the 2024 rom-com Mascarpone: The Rainbow Cake. In Love Me, Love Me, he is the third corner of the triangle, the one who makes June’s choice anything but obvious.
The rest of the cast
Around the three leads moves a group of supporting players who bring the international Milan school to life: Andrea Guo, Michelangelo Vizzini, Madior Fall and Vanessa Donghi. The director, finally, is Roger Kumble, the man behind the teen cult Cruel Intentions.
