Netflix has added five more cast members to its splashy new adaptation of the Emily Henry novel People We Meet on Vacation. Production has begun in Barcelona and is expected to move to New Orleans in the coming weeks.

First announced on August 2nd of this year, Netflix announced it would be moving forward with an adaptation of People We Meet On Vacation, which was first announced to the public in October 2022. It’s being produced by 3000 Pictures (a division of Sony Pictures), which has a first-look deal with Netflix.

Brett Haley is directing the new movie, and Yulin Kuang is behind the script. Keegan DeWitt has boarded the project as the composer with previous credits, including All The Bright Places, and Rob Givens (Gotham Knights) is serving as director of photography.

The logline for the new movie reads, “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 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?”

We’ve had three waves of cast announcements for the upcoming romance movie with two names attached to the project when Netflix first confirmed it was on the way and two subsequent waves since, including one on September 18th and the latest on September 15th.
