Pack your suitcases, we’re going on a summer trip. The first look at the film adaptation of Emily Henry’s “People We Meet on Vacation” has been unveiled. The film will premiere on Netflix on Jan. 6.

“People We Meet on Vacation” follows Poppy (Emily Bader) and Alex (Tom Blyth), who have been unlikely best friends for a decade. While the two live in different cities, they spend every summer vacation together. The balance of their friendship is put to the test when they begin to question what has been obvious to everyone else, and if their tight-knit friendship could be something more.

Additional cast members for “People We Meet on Vacation” include Sarah Catherine Hook (“The White Lotus”), Jameela Jamil (“The Good Place”), Lucien Laviscount (“Emily in Paris”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Miles Heizer (“13 Reasons Why”), Tommy Do (“Hacks”), Alice Lee (“The Union”), Alan Ruck (“Succession”) and Molly Shannon (“Private Life”). 

“I’ve been kind of an anxious wreck about who would play these characters,” says Henry in an interview with Tudum. “I truly could not feel more confident that my readers and then so many more people who don’t even know about the book are going to completely fall in love with Poppy and Alex.” 

Director Brett Haley revealed that at the core of the film will be the central relationship with Poppy and Alex, and how the years they’ve spent together bring them closer together throughout the film. “What mattered most was preserving the heart of the story: the relationship between Poppy and Alex. Their love story is the spine of the book, and it had to be the spine of the film.”
