Former One Direction members Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are teaming up for a brand-new road trip series on Netflix. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show will follow the two as they journey across the United States. It will be directed by Nicola Marsh, known for her work on the Demi Lovato documentary “Child Star.”
This exciting news comes a year after the tragic death of their bandmate, Liam Payne, who passed away in an accident in Argentina. Both Malik and Tomlinson paid tribute to Payne on social media. Malik called him his “brother,” while Tomlinson described him as “the most vital part” of One Direction.
One Direction, formed on The X Factor in 2010, became one of the biggest boybands ever, selling over 70 million records. Malik left the group in 2015 and has found success as a solo artist. Tomlinson recently released his third studio album, furthering his own music career.
Interestingly, there were reports suggesting a potential band reunion before Payne’s passing. Following his death, he was seen posthumously in Netflix’s talent show, Building the Band.
In 2015, things were rocky between Malik and Tomlinson, as they had a public spat on social media, with Malik accusing Tomlinson of making “bitchy comments.” However, recent interactions suggest they are on better terms. Tomlinson was asked about new collaborations with Malik, and he hinted at something promising, saying, “I heard that… pretty interesting. I suppose they’ll just have to wait and see.”
Last month, Malik also announced a Las Vegas residency set for next year.
This upcoming road trip series is generating excitement among fans and adds to a growing trend of celebrity-led documentaries on Netflix. Other projects in the pipeline include documentaries featuring Victoria Beckham and Eddie Murphy. This shift in entertainment showcases the increasing demand for personal stories from public figures, allowing fans to connect with their favorite stars on a deeper level.
As we look forward to the series, it’s clear that the relationship between Malik and Tomlinson has evolved significantly over the years. The road ahead promises to be filled with nostalgia and new adventures for both them and their fans.
