A trailer is available for People We Meet on Vacation, based on the bestselling novel by Emily Henry, IndieWire reported. The movie will be released by Netflix on January 26, 2026. Brett Haley directs from a script by Yulin Kuang and Amos Vernon & Nunzio Randazzo.
The official synopsis noted that the film follows "the free-spirited Poppy and routine-loving Alex, who have been unlikely best friends for a decade, living in different cities but spending every summer vacation together. The careful balance of their friendship is put to the test when they begin to question what has been obvious to everyone else--could they actually be the perfect romantic match?"
Poppy is played by Emily Bader (Lady Jane), with Tom Blyth (Plainclothes) as Alex. The cast also includes Sarah Catherine Hook, Lucien Laviscount, Miles Heizer, Jameela Jamil, Tommy Do, Lukas Gage, Alice Lee, Molly Shannon, and Alan Ruck.
"The fervor around the film is quite high already, and early looks at it have only further delighted Henry's readers (we see you, fellow romance nuts who went bonkers for that chaise lounge beach picture)," Indiewire wrote.
