Paramount+ Releases Trailer For Romantic Comedy Series ‘The Road Trip’ Premiering December

Based on the best-selling book by Beth O’Leary

by Dave Elliott

Paramount+ has released a teaser trailer for The Road Trip, a new romantic comedy series based on Beth O’Leary’s best-selling book. The series premieres this December on the streaming service in the UK, Canada, and Australia.

‘The Road Trip’ is a witty, contemporary, emotionally complex romantic comedy about giving love another shot. Can someone be the right person, just at the wrong time? And is there ever a future in returning to a past love?

Addie and her sister Deb are on a road trip to a friend’s wedding in Spain when they are forced to offer a ride to Addie’s ex Dylan, his irrepressible best friend Marcus, and complete stranger Rodney. With nowhere to hide but a creaky campervan, the group must confront their buried history as secrets and revelations cause many a bump in the road.

The ensemble cast includes Emma Appleton as the spirited Addie, Laurie Davidson plays the soulful Dylan, and David Jonsson is the self-assured Marcus. In addition, Isabella Laughland plays Addie’s straight-talking sister Deb, and Angus Imrie is the eccentric ride-along Rodney.

Intercutting between the past and present, as the gang embark on their road trip across Spain to the wedding we flash back to Addie and Dylan’s intoxicating love affair two years earlier, which started as a heady holiday romance. Peppered with spiky conflict, alongside surreal escapades, the journey to the wedding proves to be an unforgettable ride. Everyone in the van has one question on their lips – what exactly was the real reason behind Addie and Dylan’s breakup? Who was to blame? And will their journey back to where they first fell in love bring a happy ever after?

‘The Road Trip’ is written and created for television by Ryan O’Sullivan and Matilda Wnek (Vigil) and lead directed by China Moo-Young (Everything I Know About Love). It is executive produced by Miriam Brent, Eleanor Moran and Rory Aitken for 42 in association with PTIS – the international studio division of Paramount Global.

This is the second Beth O’Leary adaptation by Paramount+ and 42, following the global success of O’Leary’s debut bestseller ‘The Flatshare’, which premiered on Paramount+ in 2022.

The Road Trip‘ premieres exclusively on Boxing Day (26th December 2024) on Paramount+ in the UK, Canada and Australia.
