Netflix brings heartfelt romance to screens worldwide with People We Meet on Vacation, streaming January 9, 2026. Based on the beloved novel by Emily Henry, the film captures the magic, tension, and quiet longing that made the book a fan favorite.
Emily Bader stars as free-spirited Poppy, opposite Tom Blyth as Alex, her routine-loving best friend. For ten years, despite living in different cities, the pair have shared one constant: an annual summer vacation together. It’s a tradition built on laughter, memories, and an unspoken understanding that keeps their friendship perfectly balanced—until it doesn’t.
As Poppy and Alex begin to question what everyone else has long suspected, their bond is tested in unexpected ways. Is their connection simply friendship, or something far more meaningful?
Featuring a standout ensemble cast including Sarah Catherine Hook, Lucien Laviscount, Jameela Jamil, Molly Shannon, and Alan Ruck, People We Meet on Vacation is a warm, witty exploration of love, timing, and the courage to see what’s been right in front of you all along.
