Pack your bags, because it’s time to jet off with People We Meet on Vacation. The first film adaptation of Emily Henry’s popular novels is hitting Netflix on Jan. 9, with Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and Emily Bader (My Lady Jane) starring as Alex and Poppy. The duo are longtime friends with polar-opposite personalities—Alex is introverted and loves routine, while Poppy is outgoing and free-spirited—who begin a tradition of traveling together every summer. After years of these vacations, including one disastrous trip that leaves them estranged, the two begin to wonder if they could be something more.
“I'm such a big fan of rom-coms. I think there's elements that I miss about some of the early 2000s, '90s romcom genre, and I felt like this had a little bit of that,” Bader recently told PEOPLE. “There's something grounded about these two characters' slice of life. It was exciting to get to read that.”
