Universal Unveils Trailer for One Night Only

Universal Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for "One Night Only," a romantic comedy directed by Will Gluck that centers on two strangers seeking genuine connection amid a peculiar annual event in a stylized New York City. The film stars Monica Barbaro as hopeful romantic Allie and Callum Turner as recently dumped Owen, who cross paths on the one night each year when single people are legally permitted to engage in casual sex. It is set for theatrical release on August 7, 2026.

The trailer's logline describes Allie and Owen as love-starved outliers in a city full of fleeting encounters. They share an initial spark upon meeting, but a series of missteps, detours, and side quests repeatedly pulls them apart as they navigate the chaotic night. Glimpses in the trailer show them racing toward and away from each other, hinting at near-misses and almost-moments that build tension across the 12-hour window from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

The ensemble cast includes Maya Hawke, Julia Fox, King Princess, Ben Marshall, Ziwe, Molly Ringwald as Owen's mother, and LeVar Burton as her partner. The screenplay is credited to Travis Braun and Gluck, who also produced alongside Jacqueline Monetta...
