Vanessa Caswill serves as the movie’s director. She has largely worked on shorts and TV mini-series, including Gold Digger for Acorn TV, Little Women for PBS, and Thirteen for BBC America.

The new movie comes from Ace Entertainment which is currently working on a slew of projects for Netflix and worked on the highly watched To All The Boys YA adaptations.

Some of their upcoming projects include Florida Man for Netflix, a new TV series from Drew Hancock and Chris Romano. They’re also working on XO, Kitty, a spinoff of To All The Boys. More recently, Netflix acquired another movie from them in the form of Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between, set to release this summer.

What’s The Statistical Probability of Love At First Sight on Netflix about?

Netflix provided us with a logline that gives us an idea as to what you can expect:

“Strangers Hadley and Oliver begin to fall for each other on their flight from New York to London, but is it misfortune or fate that separates them when they land? The probability of ever finding each other again seems impossible, but love — and London — may have a way of defying the odds.”

Here’s how GoodReads lists the novel the movie is based on:

“Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan’s life. Having missed her flight, she’s stuck at JFK airport and late to her father’s second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley’s never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport’s cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he’s British, and he’s sitting in her row.

A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?

Quirks of timing play out in this romantic and cinematic novel about family connections, second chances, and first loves. Set over a twenty-four-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver’s story will make you believe that true love finds you when you’re least expecting it.”
