The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, the tongue-twistingly titled new romantic comedy featuring an EastEnders star and a The Good Place star, has found itself a home at Netflix.
Starring Ben Hardy and Jameela Jamil, the film focuses on two people who meet on a flight from New York to London and quickly fall for each other, but various things get in the way of them meeting them up again afterwards, and they must overcome the odds to give their romance a go.
Hardy will play male lead Oliver, while Jamil serves as narrator.

As reported by Variety, the streaming giant has nabbed the global release for the young adult adaptation, which isn't surprising seeing as production company ACE Entertainment previously worked with Netflix on the To All the Boys I've Loved Before series, which were pretty darn successful.
Beyond Hardy and Jamil, the film also stars Shake It Up and Split's Haley Lu Richardson (as female lead Hadley), Catastrophe and Mission: Impossible 7's Rob Delaney (as Hadley's father), actor and director Dexter Fletcher (as Oliver's out there father), and Veep and Bridget Jones actress Sally Phillips (as Oliver's mother).

Behind the camera, To All the Boys writer Katie Lovejoy has penned the script, while Little Women's Vanessa Caswill is serving as director.
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight filmed at the start of 2021, so we should expect to see it at some point this year.
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
