Love, lust, and a little bit of madness collide in the first official trailer for One Night Only, the upcoming romantic comedy from Universal Pictures. Directed by Will Gluck, the film puts a fresh, cheeky spin on the rom-com formula—set on the one night of the year when sex is, quite literally, legal for singles across New York City.
At the heart of the story are two strangers: Allie and Owen, played by Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner. She’s a hopeful romantic still believing in meaningful connections, while he’s nursing heartbreak after a recent breakup. When their paths collide on this anything-goes night, sparks fly—but this isn’t your typical meet-cute. What follows is a whirlwind of missed chances, unexpected detours, and chaotic run-ins as the two keep drifting apart just when they’re about to come together.
The trailer leans into the film’s quirky premise, blending humor with that classic rom-com longing. Set in a slightly fictionalized version of New York City, the story turns the idea of a “wild night out” on its head. While the rest of the city is chasing fleeting encounters, Allie and Owen seem to be the only ones searching for something real—making their journey both hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt.
Adding even more flavor to the film is a stacked supporting cast. Maya Hawke, Julia Fox, and indie pop artist King Princess bring a mix of eccentric energy and modern edge, while veterans like Molly Ringwald and LeVar Burton add a nostalgic charm that rom-com fans will appreciate.
Behind the scenes, the screenplay is co-written by Gluck and Travis Braun, promising sharp dialogue and a contemporary take on dating, relationships, and the unpredictability of connection. The film seems to embrace both the absurdity and sincerity of modern love, making it relatable for anyone who’s ever had a night that didn’t go as planned—but ended up meaning everything.
Slated for a theatrical release on August 7, 2026, One Night Only looks like the perfect summer rom-com: funny, messy, a little outrageous, and full of heart. If the trailer is anything to go by, this is one night audiences won’t want to miss.
