A new three-part documentary series starring Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction is headed to Netflix.
The former bandmates embarked on a roadtrip across America that is described as a spontaneous adventure, complete with “reconnection, exploration and a lot of laughter,” per an official press release.
The series is meant to give fans of the stars a rare look inside the worlds of two of the most private former One Direction members. Across three episodes, Malik and Tomlinson engage in intimate conversations about life, love, loss and fatherhood. This comes after the death of their former bandmate, Liam Payne, who died in October 2024 in Argentina at the age of 31.
The show will be directed by Nicola Marsh (“Song Exploder,” “Stay on Board: The Leo Baker Story”), and is produced by Campfire Studios (“Unknown Number: The High School Catfish”; “Smartless: On the Road”; and “America’s Sweethearts: The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders”).
Both artists have had a busy year as solo acts and are teeing up for an even busier 2026. Malik recently announced a Las Vegas residency set for January of next year. Tomlinson, for his part, is following the release of his third studio album “How Did I Get Here?” (slated for Jan. 23) with a 2026 world arena tour launching next summer.
On his forthcoming album, Tomlinson said, “I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make.’ My bread and butter is my honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music. I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”
Malik completed a run of his own earlier this year in support of his fourth solo album, “Room Under the Stairs.” Last November, he kicked off his first-ever headlining tour, “Stairway to the Sky,” with a string of shows in London, Manchester and Edinburgh. Earlier this year, he brought the tour Stateside with performances in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles before concluding the trek in Mexico City.
