Netflix's 'One Day' Trailer Wrestles with Love and Fate
Love rarely follows a straight line, a fact which is more evident than usual in the trailer for Netflix's upcoming romantic drama One Day, a swoon-worthy story of fate, chance encounters, and the unexpected connections that go on to shape our lives.
“It’s one of the great cosmic mysteries,” a voiceover intones at the start of the clip. “How is it that someone can go from being a total stranger to being the most important person in your life?”
The series stars Ambika Mod (This is Going to Hurt) and Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) as Dex and Emma, who meet as students on the eve of their college graduation in 1998. Though the duo are instantly attracted to one another, they're both leaving town the next day and reluctant to take things between them any further. They decide to stay friends, instead, and what follows is. multi-decade will they/won't they-style drama that follows both characters as their lives diverse and circle back together over the years. The series checks in both of them on the same day—July 15—for the next twenty years as the two weave in and out of each other's lives, one year older in each episode and grappling with their own choices, desires, and regrets.
