In November 2020, Haley Lu Richardson joined the cast of the film, with Vanessa Caswill directing from a screenplay by Katie Lovejoy, based upon the 2011 novel The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E.

About the Production
For further context, Haley plays a literature- and poetry-loving American who is on her way to London to see her father get married. However, she misses her flight and is forced to board the next one, where she is seated next to Oliver – a statistics student from the UK – and the pair instantly forge a close bond.
However, when they land in London, they lose each other at customs and cannot exchange numbers. Will there be a chance they’ll meet again? Honestly, it sounds like a sweet, sugary and simple plot, which is sometimes all we need to forget our troubles IRL.
With Haley Lu Richardson in the starring role of Hadley, you know it will be a good one. As well as The White Lotus, Haley has long paid her dues in Hollywood, having starred in Five Feet Apart and Split. Meanwhile British actor Ben, who takes on the role of Oliver, has been in EastEnders and X-Men: Apocalypse. Others in the cast include Rob Delaney and Sally Phillips, with Jameela Jamil tying things together as the film’s narrator.
