Here’s everything we know about Netflix’s adaptation of David Nicholls’ One Day, including the new trailer.


From the elegance of Bridgerton to the action of The Witcher, Netflix is a streaming platform that knows how to nail a literary adaptation, and its next project is no different.

If you haven’t already heard, the platform is set to release a TV series based on David Nicholls’s bestselling novel One Day, which follows the lives of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew after they meet for the very first time on 15 July 1988, the night of their graduation.

While the book was previously adapted into a film starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess back in 2011, this is the first time the book will be making its way to the small screen, starring Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall. And Netflix has released even more first-look images and the trailer for the series that gives viewers a further glimpse into the drama.

What is the plot of One Day?

One Day follows the pair of on-again-off-again lovers as they meet up each year after they go their separate ways when they graduate. We’ll watch how they move together and apart and experience joy and heartbreak over decades.

According to Deadline, each episode in the Netflix series will be based on a different meet-up, giving viewers the chance to watch the pair grow and change in front of their eyes. 

Who stars in One Day?

Netflix previously announced who will be playing the show’s central characters – and it’s made us even more excited to see the story play out on screen.

Mod – who received widespread praise for her portrayal of trainee doctor Shruti Acharya in the BBC’s This Is Going To Hurt – will play Emma, while The White Lotus star Woodall will take on the role of Dexter.

The rest of the cast is made up of Essie Davis (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries), Tim McInnerny (Blackadder), Amber Grappy, Jonny Weldon, Eleanor Tomlinson (The Couple Next Door), Joely Richardson (The Tudors), and Toby Stephens.
