Netflix Releases 'People We Meet on Vacation' Teaser

Netflix released the first teaser trailer for People We Meet on Vacation on Sept. 30, 2025, opening with Poppy at an airport baggage claim singing Robyn's "Hang With Me" before unexpectedly running into Alex. The film adapts Emily Henry's 2021 bestselling novel — which debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times list and has sold millions — and follows longtime best friends Poppy (Emily Bader) and Alex (Tom Blyth) who question whether their annual summer vacations hide something more than friendship. Directed by Brett Haley, the rom-com features an ensemble including Jameela Jamil, Sarah Catherine Hook, Molly Shannon and Alan Ruck, and was produced in a Netflix–Sony/3000 Pictures/Temple Hill partnership. Screenplay credits include Yulin Kuang, Amos Vernon and Nunzio Randazzo, and producers include Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and Isaac Klausner. Netflix has scheduled the film for an early-January 2026 debut, with outlets reporting Jan. 6 and Jan. 9 as possible dates, and author Emily Henry — an executive producer — said early reactions have been encouraging.
