Tom, 29, will be playing the role of Alex Nilsen, and Emily, 27, was cast in the role of Poppy Wright. Tom soon joined the call, and the co-stars expressed their excitement to work together. Emily even appeared in the call and said that fans will “completely fall in love with Poppy and Alex with you guys playing them.”

After they stopped talking for two years, Poppy realizes she misses her friend and contacts him to go on one last trip with her to Palm Springs. They soon must face the question of whether or not their bond is platonic or romantic. Emily is best known for her starring role in, in which she plays Lady Jane Grey in the Prime Video series.
