Netflix has officially unveiled the trailer for My Oxford Year, a coming-of-age drama based on Julia Whelan’s bestselling novel.
The film, which will be available on the streaming platform starting August 1, stars Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest as the leads. Directed by Iain Morris, the movie tells the story of Anna (Carson), a determined American woman who travels to Oxford University to fulfill a childhood dream. However, her plans take an unexpected turn when she meets Jamie (Mylchreest), a charming and clever local who changes both their lives.
The trailer depicts the blossoming attraction between Anna and Jamie, leading to a brief but intense romance. While they bond over their shared love of poetry, their relationship faces complications as their feelings deepen. In one pivotal moment, Jamie tells Anna, “Don’t waste the short time you have left in Oxford on me,” hinting at hidden struggles. Anna, however, suspects that Jamie is keeping something from her, leading to emotional tension.
The film also features a talented supporting cast, including Dougray Scott, Catherine McCormack, and Harry Trevaldwyn. The screenplay is written by Allison Burnett and Melissa Osborne, with Carson serving as an executive producer alongside Caroline Levy and others.
My Oxford Year is already generating comparisons to Prime Video’s Maxton Hall, a popular teen romance series. With Netflix’s track record of adapting beloved novels, fans are eager to see how this heartfelt story will resonate upon its release in August. The film promises to be a poignant exploration of love, ambition, and self-discovery.
