'People We Meet on Vacation' adaptation gets January premiere date
July 1 (UPI) -- Netflix announced People We Meet on Vacation, an adaptation of Emily Henry's romantic comedy novel, will premiere on the streaming service Jan. 9.
The premiere date for the film, which stars Tom Blyth as Alex and Emily Bader as Poppy, was announced with a video featuring the voices of the two stars.
"Where does Alex Nilsen stand on travel?" Poppy asks in the video. "Love or hate?"
"I mean, I've never really traveled anywhere," Alex answers. "But this morning I saw this beautiful sunrise over this place that I'd never been before, and I wouldn't have if everything had gone according to plan. So, love. I'm thinking love."
The film also stars Sarah Catherine Hook, Jameela Jamil, Lucien Laviscount, Lukas Gage, Miles Heizer, Tommy Do, Alice Lee, Alan Ruck and Molly Shannon.
"Free-spirited Poppy and routine-loving Alex have been unlikely best friends for a decade, living in different cities but spending every summer vacation together," the official synopsis reads. "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?"
People We Meet on Vacation starts streaming Jan. 9 on Netflix.

Tim Burton Says He's Working On A New Animated Project
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - JUNE 24: Tim Burton poses during a masterclass ahead the inauguration of the ... More immersive experience 'Laberinto' at Panteon Dolores on June 24, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico. (Photo by Medios) Iconic filmmaker Tim Burton says he's returning to animation for an upcoming project. Burton, who got his start an animator with Walt Disney Animation Studios out of CalArts, directed the classic stop-motion animated short Vincent while with the studio in 1982. Later on, the filmmaker produced the stop-motion animated classic Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (which was directed by Henry Selick) in 1993, co-directed Corpse Bride (with Mike Johnson) in 2005 and directed Frankenweenie (based on his 1984 live-action short film) in 2012. Now, just weeks before the return of Netflix's Wednesday Season 2 — which he executive produces and directs some of the episodes — Burton is teasing at least one of his upcoming projects. During a recent interview with the Mexican press outlet Milenio (via World of Reel) at the opening of his new exhibition Tim Burton's Labyrinth in Mexico City, Burton said, 'I am working on something as an animated project. So, hopefully I'll have the script soon and take it from there. It's something I'm very excited about.'

(Photo by Medios) Tim Burton Did Not Indicate What Style Of Animation He Would Be Using For The Project While Tim Burton didn't get into any details about his upcoming animated project, it's quite likely that he will be filming in stop-motion animation again given his extensive history in the stop-motion field. In addition to his work on Vincent, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie, Burton has worked stop-motion animated sequences into many of his live-action films, including Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and most recently, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. In the latter, stop-motion was used in the script to reveal the fate of Deetz family patriarch Charles Deetz, which also includes a cameo appearance by Burton. Stop-motion animation also is used in other key scenes in the film, including the return of the iconic black-and-white-stripped sandworm introduced in the original Beetlejuice. 'Tim made it very clear from the beginning that his intention was to use some stop-motion,' Beetlejuice Beetlejuice visual effects supervisor Angus Bickerton said in a Zoom conversation in November 2024. 'He knew he also wanted to — and we should mention the great work done by [creature effects creative supervisor] Neil Scanlan — use prosthetics, a creature effects team and a lot of on-set puppetry to capture the same vibe as the original," Bickerton added. Tim Burton's Labyrinth exhibition runs through Jan. 18, 2026, in Mexico City. Wednesday Season 2, starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, returns to Netflix with Part 1 (Episodes 1-4) on Wednesday, Aug. 6, and Part 2 on Wednesday, Sept. 3 (Episodes 5-8).

My Life With the Walter Boys Season 2 will premiere on Netflix Thursday, August 28. Starring trio Nikki Rodriguez, Noah LaLonde and Ashby Gentry took the stage at the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Canada — where the series is filmed — to make the announcement. More from Deadline 'My Life With The Walter Boys' Renewed For Season 3 At Netflix Everything We Know About 'My Life With The Walter Boys' Season 2 So Far 'Old Guard 2' Director Victoria Mahoney On Charlize Theron & Uma Thurman, Being #1, Sequels, 'Star Wars' & Miles Davis Netflix also released three new images for the show's next season. View them below. Season 2 of the YA series, which is based on the book by Ali Novak, will pick up after Jackie (Rodriguez) left Silver Falls, caught between Alex (Gentry) telling her he loves her while drunk at Will (Johnny Link) and Haley's (Zoë Soul) wedding and Cole (LaLonde) kissing her. After spending a summer in New York City, Katherine (Sarah Rafferty) confinces her to come back to Colorado, where Jackie wants to make amends with Alex and take some space from Cole. Alex, who has changed quite a bit over the summer, isn't exactly keen to make up with Jackie, and he focuses all his energy on training for a rodeo event while enjoying the new attention people are paying him. Cole, meanwhile, takes on a new role at school, but he finds it doesn't quite make up for playing football. Then his old habits start to make things messy. While Jackie finds she might fit back into Silver Falls after all, she has to keep the balance or things could topple everything she's worked hard to rebuild.
