Fifteen years after David Nicholls's best-selling novel One Day was released, and 13 years after the film adaptation starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for its own series adaptation of the story.

The series, which will be made up of 14 episodes, will released on the platform on Thursday 8th February, and stars Ambika Mod (This is Going to Hurt) and Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) in the central roles.

Set to The Cranberries' song Dreams, the trailer introduces us to their characters Emma and Dexter, who we first see meeting on the night of their graduation. The next morning they go their separate ways, and each subsequent episode follows them on the same date, one year older.

You can watch the trailer for the series, which is described as a "decades-spanning love story", right here:

While we don't yet know exactly the different way that the series will diverge from the story as told in the book and the film, Mod previously told RadioTimes.com that it will be able to dedicate "more time" to tell the story.

She said: "I really enjoyed the film, but I think a lot of people felt that – and I would agree – that an hour-and-a-half movie isn't usually enough to dedicate to this epic novel that spans 20 years.

"So, hopefully, in our series we’ll be able to cover more ground and sort of zoom in on the story with more detail… I think the way that our writers are going about it is really beautiful, and hopefully people will just be able to see more of the book in the series."

One Day will stream on Netflix from Thursday 8th February 2024. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
