On Wednesday, Netflix announced that Sarah Catherine, Jameela Jamil, Lucien Laviscount, and Lukas Gage have been added to the cast of People We Meet on Vacation. They will be joining the previously announced leads, Tom Blyth and Emily Bader.
People We Meet on Vacation is a feature film adaptation of Emily Henry's bestselling-novel of the same name. The film follows Alex (Blyth) and Poppy (Bader) who took one week of every summer vacation together. However, things changed when they stopped speaking for two years. When Poppy reaches out and convinces Alex to take one more vacation together, she sees it as her time to fix their broken relationship. But there’s one unspoken truth they have yet to confront: Are they really just friends or is there more to their relationship?
Brett Haley, who has helmed projects like The Hero (2017), All Together Now (2020) and Hearts Beat Loud (2018), is directing the film with Yulin Kuang adapting the screenplay. Temple Hill’s Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey and Isaac Klausner are producing with Laura Quicksilver and Erin Siminoff overseeing the project for 3000 Pictures.
The film is being produced under the partnership where Sony Pictures will offer Netflix a first look at any films it intends to make for streaming. People We Meet on Vacation was published in 2021 and quickly became a best seller with more than two million copies sold in the US.
Hook has The Ghost Trap, Jacket Chase Western and Cruel Intentions coming up, while Jamil has Elio. While Lavicount was recently seen in Emily in Paris season 4 and This Time Next Year, Gage has Smile 2 and Companion in the pipeline.
