People We Meet on Vacation 2026

The film adaptation of Emily Henry’s bestselling novel People We Meet on Vacation officially premiered on Netflix on January 9, 2026. Directed by Brett Haley and adapted for the screen by Yulin Kuang, the romantic comedy stars Emily Bader as the adventurous travel writer Poppy Wright and Tom Blyth as her more reserved, routine-oriented best friend Alex Nilsen. The plot centers on the duo’s attempt to rekindle their friendship after a two-year estrangement following a disastrous trip to Croatia; they decide to take one final vacation together for Alex's brother’s wedding in Barcelona. Utilizing a non-linear timeline similar to the book, the film jumps between their current trip and a decade of past summer getaways, including their college carpool meet-cute and adventures in destinations like New Orleans. The supporting cast features Sarah Catherine Hook as Alex’s girlfriend Sarah, Lucien Laviscount as Poppy’s boyfriend Trey, Jameela Jamil as Poppy’s boss Swapna, and comedy veterans Molly Shannon and Alan Ruck as Poppy’s parents. Produced by 3000 Pictures and Temple Hill, the movie captures the "opposites attract" dynamic through vibrant cinematography, with filming taking place on location in Spain and Louisiana to bring the story's globetrotting spirit to life.
