Netflix will be launching the new series One Day in early 2024 and author David Nicholls is opening up about the new adaptation of his book.

One Day was already turned into a movie back in 2011 starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess and now it will be a 14-episode limited series.

The series tells the story of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew who, on 15th July 1988, the night of their graduation, speak for the very first time. The next morning, they go their separate ways but where will they be on this one ordinary day the next year, and the year after that, and every year that follows? Each episode finds Dex and Em, one year older, on this one particular date, as they grow and change, move together and apart, experience joy and heartbreak.

Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall star in the series, which premieres on February 8, 2024.

David said, “The premise of the novel was it should be like looking through a photograph album in the way that a photograph snatches a moment in time, that these days are little vignettes of how you were at that time. So that was very much the intention with the show, that they would age

The biggest change though is that, “There is a lot more sex in this than there is in the novel. I tend to fade to black and Nicole doesn’t fade to black… Adaptation means change.”

Leo and his real-life girlfriend have confirmed their romance after months of speculation!
