Who Is in the Cast of ‘People We Meet on Vacation’?

So far, only two cast members have been revealed for People We Meet on Vacation, which includes Tom Blyth and My Lady Jane actress Emily Bader!

“I watched their chemistry read four times in 12 hours and I loved it more every single time,” the author revealed to Netflix. “The very first time I was laughing out loud, and I got so emotional by the end.”

However, prior to finding her Poppy and Alex, Emily revealed she was nervous she wouldn’t be able to find actors that could truly fill those roles.

“I’ve been kind of an anxious wreck about who would play these characters. I truly could not feel more confident that my readers and then so many more people who don’t even know about the book are going to completely fall in love with Poppy and Alex.”

It seems she’s made the right choice! As we wait for more cast news and updates, keep scrolling to see who else Emily has entrusted to play her beloved characters.
