People We Meet On Vacation Dropped A Trailer, And Fans Are Properly Freaking Out: ‘Rom-Coms Have Truly Never Been More Back’

by

If you’re a fan of Emily Henry’s romance novels, you’ll be excited to hear that the trailer for the movie adaptation of People We Meet On Vacation is finally here! Fans are already buzzing about the project, starring Emily Bader and Tom Blyth, and how perfectly it captures the story of Poppy and Alex. The movie is scheduled to be released in 2026.

We recently got a detailed preview of the new Netflix movie, and as someone who loves the book, I think Tom Blyth and Emily Bader perfectly capture the characters of Alex and Poppy. The two-and-a-half-minute preview showed us a glimpse of their friendship and the years of vacations that build their love story. Fans seem really excited, with one Twitter user, @zeglianswiftie, sharing their enthusiasm.

THE COLOUR. THE CHEMISTRY. THE MUSIC. THE FACE CARDS. OH ROMCOMS HAVE TRULY NEVER BEEN MORE BACK

The trailer perfectly captures what makes Alex and Poppy such a great couple. Emily Bader brings the same lively and unpredictable energy to her role as Poppy, just like in the book. Tom Blyth complements her perfectly as Alex, portraying him as quiet, thoughtful, and endearing. The trailer also beautifully showcases their relationship and how they encourage each other to be their best selves. (It was great to see the quirky side of Alex – or ‘Weird Alex’ as fans of the books know him – come through in the trailer!)

Lots of people are excited about the upcoming release of People We Meet On Vacation, and I’m definitely not alone! The trailer has generated a huge buzz, and fans are already counting down the days. For instance, one fan, @wilmontouch, shared their excitement using a popular meme featuring Cynthia Erivo.

Totally agree! This trailer lives up to all the excitement, and it’s been a long wait for an Emily Henry adaptation. With several of her books being developed for film and TV, People We Meet On Vacation is the first to actually be made into a movie – it’s a huge deal for fans like us!
