‘Love At First Sight’ Trailer: Haley Lu Richardson & Ben Hardy Star In A Charming New RomCom About Finding Love In Unexpected Places

For years, we’ve heard that the rom-com is dead, and no one is paying to see those movies—generally mid-sized budget films—in theaters. And that could be true, but the success metrics on streaming sites are obviously different, and the romantic comedy has been thriving on streaming, arguably very specifically on Netflix, which has given a home to this genre in recent years. The latest is “Love At First Sight,” starring the always effervescently delightful Haley Lu Richardson.

“Love At First Sight” is a charming romantic comedy from the producers of the “To All The Boys” franchise based—speaking of a rom-com series that has done incredibly well on Netflix over the years, spawning a trilogy of films, series spin-offs and more. And since Netflix’s algorithm knows what works and what people watch, it’s not surprising to hear that connection. “Love At First Sight” is also based on the wildly popular novel, “The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight,” by Jennifer E Smith. Starring Haley Lu Richardson, Ben Hardy, Jameela Jamil, Rob Delaney, Dexter Fletcher and Sally Phillips, the film is a reminder that timing is everything and true love can be found in the most unexpected places.

Here’s the official synopsis:

After missing her flight from New York to London, Hadley (Haley Lu Richardson) meets Oliver (Ben Hardy) in a chance encounter at the airport that sparks an instant connection. A long night on the plane together passes in the blink of an eye, but upon landing at Heathrow, the pair are separated and finding each other in the chaos seems impossible. Will fate intervene to transform these seat mates into soul mates?

Directed by Vanessa Caswill (“Golddigger” 2017’s BBC version of “Little Women”), “Love At First Sight” premieres September 15 on Netflix. Watch the new trailer below.
