Since the release of her inaugural adult novel Beach Read in 2020, Emily Henry has emerged as a prominent figure in contemporary romance literature.

In the last six years, she has penned six romance novels, each of which has achieved New York Times bestseller status and gained traction on BookTok. Now, Henry’s stories are making their way to the silver screen with Netflix’s adaptation of her 2021 work, People We Meet on Vacation.

Helmed by Brett Haley (Hearts Beat Loud), People We Meet on Vacation stars Emily Bader (My Lady Jane) and Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) as best friends Poppy and Alex. The pair are polar opposites: he’s introverted, while she leans towards adventure.

Despite their contrasting personalities, they have remained inseparable since their college days. Their connection persists strong after graduation, with Poppy and Alex coming together every year for a week-long getaway.

Throughout their time together, they’ve maintained that they are merely friends. However, the chemistry evident in the trailer for People We Meet on Vacation hints at something deeper. Will these lifelong friends finally acknowledge the romance that is so apparent? Another vacation might hold the key.

Catch the complete teaser for a glimpse of Poppy and Alex’s breathtaking travel destinations and a reference to the beach-themed cover of the novel.

People We Meet on Vacation also stars Sarah Catherine Hook, Jameela Jamil, Lucien Laviscount, and Lukas Gage.

People We Meet on Vacation debuts on Netflix Jan. 9.
