In a move that has thrilled fans worldwide, former One Direction members Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are set to reunite for an intimate documentary series for Netflix. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the three-part project will follow the two singers on a US road trip, offering a rare glimpse into their lives after the global phenomenon of One Direction. The series will be directed by Nicola Marsh, known for her work on documentaries such as Demi Lovato’s “Child Star” and “Song Exploder.”
The docuseries promises to be a deeply personal journey, with Malik and Tomlinson, who both reside in Pennsylvania, reconnecting and sharing an adventure across America. A significant and poignant part of the series will see the two artists discussing the tragic death of their former bandmate, Liam Payne, who passed away last year at the age of 31. A synopsis from their representatives describes the project as “a rare look inside the world of two of the most famous — and most private — men on the planet opening up about life, loss and fatherhood.”
The yet-to-be-titled series is being produced by Campfire Studios and is scheduled for a global release in September of next year. While the project is sure to attract the legions of One Direction fans, it is not expected to feature appearances from other former members Harry Styles or Niall Horan. The focus remains squarely on the unique bond and shared history between Malik and Tomlinson.
This reunion marks a significant moment for the fandom, as Malik’s departure from One Direction in 2015 ultimately led to the band’s indefinite hiatus. The group, which was originally formed by Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger on “The X Factor” in 2010, became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. This new documentary offers a long-awaited opportunity for two of its key members to share their story in their own words.
