Summary
Universal Pictures is set to release One Night Only, a bold new romantic comedy from director Will Gluck. Starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner, the film explores love, rules, and chaos in a society where intimacy is only legal once a year. With production underway, fresh casting opportunities are opening for rising talent.
About One Night Only
One Night Only tells the story of Owen, a pizza chef reeling from heartbreak, and Allie, a frantic personal assistant. Their society prohibits premarital sex—except for one 12-hour window each year. Owen gets dumped, and Allie gets stood up, but they collide in an awkward meet-cute that launches a wild night of robberies, arrests, and misadventures.
The film, based on Travis Braun’s Black List script and rewritten by Gluck, blends social satire with heartfelt romance. Scheduled for release on August 7, 2026, it promises to be both daring and comedic.
