Yahoo Lifestyle ‘People We Meet on Vacation’ Adds Miles Heizer, Tommy Do, Alice Lee, Alan Ruck and Molly Shannon
The feature adaptation of Emily Henry’s bestseller “People We Meet on Vacation” has added a few more of those “people,” with Miles Heizer (“13 Reasons Why,” “Parenthood”), Tommy Do (“Hacks,” “Overcompensating”), Alice Lee (“The Union,” “Suits L.A.”), Alan Ruck (“Succession”) and Molly Shannon (“The Other Two,” “Only Murders in the Building”) joining the starry cast.
Tom Blyth and Emily Bader star in the Netflix and 3000 Pictures movie, which follows routine-loving Alex and free-spirited Poppy. The pair “have been unlikely best friends for a decade, living in different cities but spending every summer vacation together,” the official logline explains. “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?”

“People We Meet on Vacation” was published in 2021 by Berkley, an imprint of Penguin Random House. It debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, where it ultimately spent more than a year, and has become Henry’s highest selling book with more than 2 million copies sold in the U.S.
The film is directed by Brett Haley. Temple Hill’s Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey and Isaac Klausner are producing the project with executive producers Laura Quicksilver (for Temple Hill) and Erin Siminoff overseeing the production for 3000 Pictures. “People We Meet on Vacation” is being produced under a partnership in which Sony Pictures will offer Netflix a first look at any films it intends for direct-to-streaming.
