The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Feb. 8, edition that British actors Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall star as Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew, two students who meet by chance in 1988, on the last day of university in One Day, the new Netflix series based on David Nicholls's bestseller. An Associated Press dispatch to The Globe reports that what could have been a one-night stand turns into a relationship of laughter, joy, angst and heartbreak that lasts through four decades. The show, which releases Thursday on Netflix, revisits them on July 15 over the years. The 2009 novel was previously made into a film starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, following the characters through various incarnations as a waitress, teacher, TV presenter, writer and cafe owner. Ms. Mod and Mr. Woodall are known for their respective breakthrough roles in hospital drama This Is Going to Hurt and the Sicily-set season of The White Lotus.
