Netflix has unveiled the trailer for an upcoming romantic drama, which has an intriguing premise and updates a forgotten Anne Hathaway movie.
Netflix’s next romantic drama, One Day, is a TV adaptation of a forgotten Anne Hathaway movie. Released in 2011 and based on the book of the same name by David Nicholls, the One Day movie followed Dexter Mayhew (Jim Sturgess) and Emma Morley (Hathaway) on the same day for over 20 years. Nicholls also wrote the screenplay, with Lone Scherfig directing. The rest of the cast included Patricia Clarkson, Ken Stott, and Romola Garai.
Netflix has now debuted the trailer for its One Day adaptation, which consists of 14 episodes and debuts in February. Check out the trailer below:
Leo Woodall, who played Jack in The White Lotus season 2, and This is Going to Hurt star Ambika Mod play Dexter and Emma, respectively. The two-minute trailer highlights the coming highs and lows of the romance between the two main characters.
What To Know About Netflix’s One Day
According to Netflix’s summary of the series, One Day follows Emma and Dexter on the night of their graduation, July 15th, 1988. It’s on that night that the two meet, and the next morning, they go their separate ways. However, their saga proves to be a lot more complicated than just that one night.
Every episode of the romantic drama will show Emma and Dexter one year older on that same fateful date. The cast also includes Tim McInnerny, Amber Grappy, Jonny Weldon, Eleanor Tomlinson, Joely Richardson, Toby Stephens, and The Babadook‘s Essie Davis. Nicholls is executive producing this adaptation of his best-selling novel.
2024 will be a big year for Hathaway, with intriguing projects ahead. Though the movie version didn’t land well with critics at the time, garnering lukewarm reviews, perhaps One Day will fare better as an episodic series, allowing more time to explore different periods of the characters’ lives. It may even convince audiences to revisit Hathaway‘s performance as Emma and look at it with fresh eyes.
