'People We Meet on Vacation' adaptation gets January premiere date
July 1 (UPI) -- Netflix announced People We Meet on Vacation, an adaptation of Emily Henry's romantic comedy novel, will premiere on the streaming service Jan. 9.
The premiere date for the film, which stars Tom Blyth as Alex and Emily Bader as Poppy, was announced with a video featuring the voices of the two stars.
"Where does Alex Nilsen stand on travel?" Poppy asks in the video. "Love or hate?"
"I mean, I've never really traveled anywhere," Alex answers. "But this morning I saw this beautiful sunrise over this place that I'd never been before, and I wouldn't have if everything had gone according to plan. So, love. I'm thinking love."
The film also stars Sarah Catherine Hook, Jameela Jamil, Lucien Laviscount, Lukas Gage, Miles Heizer, Tommy Do, Alice Lee, Alan Ruck and Molly Shannon.
"Free-spirited Poppy and routine-loving Alex have been unlikely best friends for a decade, living in different cities but spending every summer vacation together," the official synopsis reads. "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 starts streaming Jan. 9 on Netflix.

BBC apologizes for Bob Vylan set, will change live-stream protocols
Bobby Vylan of Bob Vylan performs on the West Holts Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in Glastonbury on Saturday. The BBC is changing its live-stream protocols in response to the duo's "offensive" comments on stage. Photo by Hugo Philpott/UPI | License Photo July 3 (UPI) -- The BBC has apologized for airing Bob Vylan's "offensive" Glastonbury Music Festival set over the weekend and is changing its live-stream protocols in response. Bob Vylan, a British alternative rap duo made up of Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan, chanted "Death, death to the IDF," referring to the Israel Defense Forces, and "Free, free Palestine" on stage Saturday. The performance was live-streamed on BBC, which apologized and called the duo's comments "deeply offensive" and "anti-Semitic" in a statement Monday. In a new statement Thursday, the BBC said Bob Vylan had been "deemed high risk following a risk assessment process applied to all acts appearing at Glastonbury," but said it felt that risk could be mitigated via "language or content warnings -- without the need for delay." Going forward, the BBC said it will no longer live-stream performances that are dubbed "high risk," and that support personnel will be deployed to big music festivals "to improve compliance processes." BBC Chair Samir Shah added that "the Executive is initiating a process to ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible the failings in this incident." The U.S. State Department has since revoked visas for the members of Bob Vylan. "We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people," the duo said Sunday on Instagram. "We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use unnecessary lethal force against innocent civilians waiting for aid."

Adam Sandler Consoled Julie Bowen Amid Happy Gilmore Doubts
Last month, Julie Bowen admitted that she was totally surprised to be cast as Adam Sandler's love interest in the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel. Adam and Julie — who are 58 and 55, respectively — played lovers Happy and Virginia in the 1996 sports comedy. But despite the fact that Adam is only 3 years older than her, Julie was convinced that she wouldn't be cast in the forthcoming sequel, which drops on Netflix later this month. She told The Hollywood Reporter, 'I thought, 'Well, I won't be in it.' And that was OK… It's been 30 years, he's got a hottie. He's got some little bitty on the side, like a cart girl.' Now, Julie has opened up further about her thoughts being cast in Happy Gilmore 2 during a new appearance on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You podcast. 'I didn't think they'd bring me back at all,' she shared. 'I mean, who am I supposed to be? He's got to have a younger woman in this one, Happy Gilmore 2.' After reiterating that she 'was surprised to be in it,' Julie later revealed the sweet way that Adam urged her to stop downplaying her role. 'I keep saying, 'I'm in it for, like, a heartbeat. I'm in it for, like, nothing,' and Adam's like, 'Stop saying that! You're the heart of the movie!'' she shared. Elsewhere on the podcast, Julie recounted what it was like auditioning for the first Happy Gilmore film, admitting that she was 'very nervous' after seeing so many 'super sexy girls in the waiting room.' 'They were all sexy and they had it together,' she recalled. 'I was wearing jeans, maybe. I don't know, it was something very normal. The girl that had gone in before me was real, real, bombshelly. I went in after, and I was very nervous 'cause I was like, 'They're gonna hire a hot girl,'' she said. You can find Julie's full appearance on the Inside of You podcast here. Happy Gilmore 2 will be available to stream on Netflix from July 25.

Netflix is losing an original crime drama series with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes next week — now's the time to binge-watch
Netflix has confirmed that it's removing 'The Twelve' (original title: 'De Twaalf') on July 9, so if you've never seen this haunting Belgian crime drama, now is the perfect time to stream all 10 episodes before it vanishes from the platform. This Belgian series first aired on the network Eén in November 2019 and later caught the attention of global audiences when Netflix picked up the international streaming rights. It landed on the platform in July 2020 under the 'Netflix original' banner, though Netflix didn't produce the show itself. The story centers on the trial of a school principal accused of two separate murders, but the real brilliance lies in the twelve jurors. Each episode digs into their personal lives, traumas, and secrets, peeling back the layers to reveal how private struggles quietly shape public judgment. It's also important not to confuse this original series with the 2022 Australian remake starring Sam Neill, which adapted the same premise but with a different tone and setting. The Belgian version remains the more grounded and emotionally layered of the two. If you're a fan of character-driven dramas that leave you questioning what justice really looks like, 'The Twelve' is well worth your time. Here's everything to know before adding it to your Netflix watchlist. 'The Twelve' follows the trial of Frie Palmers (Maaike Cafmeyer), a respected school principal accused of two separate murders — her best friend almost twenty years ago, and her young daughter more recently. The case draws twelve jurors who must decide her fate, but the series is just as interested in them as it is in the crime itself. While courtroom proceedings take center stage, the story branches into each juror's personal life, revealing fractured families, strained relationships, and long-buried secrets over 10 episodes. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Testimony and evidence steadily reshape how each juror views the trial. Their decisions are shaped not only by what they hear in court but by the quiet chaos unfolding in their own lives. The show moves between legal drama and intimate character study, building toward a verdict influenced by far more than just the facts. 'The Twelve' offers a unique perspective on the criminal justice system by focusing on the lives of the jurors themselves. As the trial unfolds, viewers gain insight into how each juror's personal experiences and prejudices influence their interpretation of the evidence against Frie and their ultimate judgment of her guilt or innocence. Creators Sanne Nuyens and Bert Van Dael present a complex, layered narrative here. The two murders Frie faces trial for are separated by 16 years and appear unrelated at first, with Frie seemingly innocent in both cases. However, the jury must weigh evidence spanning these two crimes amid Frie's troubled past. Exploring the jurors' personal lives proves just as compelling. The series focuses on the events and experiences that shaped their perspectives on the case, despite their promises to remain unbiased. Bias exists within everyone's worldview, no matter how hard they try to stay neutral, and witnessing how it influences their interpretation of the evidence makes for a captivating aspect of the story. If you're not a fan of slow-burn dramas, 'The Twelve' might not be for you, since the story takes place over 10 episodes and the most gripping moments don't really arrive until the final few installments. It's designed to keep you hooked all the way through. That said, this crime drama can still make for an engaging binge-watch. It earned a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (though that's based on just five reviews), while audiences gave it a 68% rating. Even though it's lower, that score still qualifies the series as 'fresh.' Hannah Brown from Jerusalem Post said: 'The Twelve passed my ultimate streaming test: More than 15 minutes passed before I checked the time. If I get completely absorbed in a drama for more than 10 minutes, that's a very good sign.' Meanwhile, Decider's Joel Keller stated: 'Good performances and a layered, unique approach elevates The Twelve above most court dramas.' While 'The Twelve' may not be packed with constant twists or headline-grabbing stars, it still stands out for its unique approach to courtroom storytelling. With all 10 episodes set to leave Netflix U.S. on July 9, now is the perfect time to delve in before it disappears. Stream 'The Twelve' on Netflix now or see what's new on the streamer in July 2025.
