Emily Bader lays in bed staring at the camera in Fresh Kills
The Big Picture The beloved novel People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry is set to make its big-screen debut, with Tom Blyth and Emily Bader cast as the leads. The adaptation marks the first of Henry's best-selling novels to enter production, spearheaded by Netflix in partnership with 3000 Pictures. The romantic comedy, directed by Brett Haley, promises to bring the charming and heartfelt story to life for fans and new audiences alike.
People We Meet On Vacation follows the story of Poppy, a free-spirited woman, and Alex, her more reserved best friend. Despite living in different cities, the two have shared a tradition of spending summer vacations together for a decade. The story explores the complexities of their friendship as they begin to question if there’s something more between them, a question that has been apparent to everyone around them but themselves.
The novel, published by Berkley in 2021, quickly became a sensation, debuting at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and maintaining its position for over a year. It has sold more than 2 million copies in the U.S., becoming Henry’s highest-selling book. The book also won the Goodreads Choice Award for Romance and was named one of the best books of 2021 by Kirkus Reviews.
Who's Leading 'People We Meet on Vacation'? Blyth, fresh off his lead role in Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, will lead the project. Blyth has been busy with a slew of projects, including the independent feature Plainclothes, the prison drama Wasteman, and the film adaptation of the popular Ubisoft video game Watch Dogs.
As the film moves into production, fans of Henry’s work and newcomers alike will be buzzing to watch what will hopefully be a faithful and engaging adaptation of People We Meet On Vacation. Stay tuned for more updates on People We Meet on Vacation as the project progresses!
