Hunger Games star joins People We Meet on Vacation movie

As an avid reader and ardent supporter of heartwarming stories that resonate deeply with the audience, I am absolutely thrilled by the casting of Tom Blyth and Emily Bader as Poppy Wright and Alex Nilsen in the upcoming adaptation of Emily Henry’s People We Meet on Vacation.


At long last, we’ve got our Poppy Wright and Alex Nilsen! The announcement that Emily Henry’s People We Meet on Vacation would be turned into a film left fans in disbelief, yet there remained uncertainty about who would play the roles.

On the other hand, the requirement for fans to speculate about potential leads is now redundant since Tom Blyth and Emily Bader have officially landed the main roles!

As I ponder over this thrilling casting news, let me share some more tantalizing tidbits – who will bring the characters of Rachel, Sarah, and Swapna to life? The anticipation is killing me!

3000 Pictures and Netflix are adapting a movie from Emily Henry’s top-selling book, titled “Summer Vacation Buddies.” This heartwarming story revolves around two improbable best friends, Poppy and Alex, who reside in separate cities but look forward to spending their annual summer getaways together.

However, their friendship faces a trial as they start to ponder whether they might be ideal for a romantic relationship.

People are likely familiar with Blyth, who played the highly praised character of young Coriolanus Snow in “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” and also portrayed William H. Bonney in “Billy the Kid.”

As a passionate cinephile, I’ve just been thrilled to witness Emily Bader shine in leading roles across various productions. Most recently, she captivated audiences with her performance in Prime Video’s My Lady Jane. Additionally, her impressive talents were showcased in Fresh Kills and Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin.

Netflix announced the thrilling news across their social platforms, posting a video showing Bader learning she landed the part of Poppy. Later, Blyth joined the scene, but the duo received an additional delight when Henry unexpectedly hopped on the call to celebrate their success together.

She informed the actors that she believes both Poppy and Alex, portrayed by them, will captivate their audiences completely and win everyone’s heart.

See Emily Bader discover that she will be acting alongside Tom Blyth in the movie adaptation of Emily Henry’s hit novel, “People We Meet on Vacation,” which is being helmed by director Brett Haley.
