Former One Direction stars Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are teaming up again, this time for a Netflix documentary that promises to take fans on a nostalgic journey.
According to reports, the duo has already begun filming, with the project centered around a road trip across the United States. The release is expected next year, marking almost a decade since One Direction’s split.
Malik, who has lived in the US since 2018 after moving from the UK, will be joined by Tomlinson, who frequently spends time there due to his nine-year-old son with American stylist Briana Jungwirth.
The band, originally formed on The X Factor in 2010, included Malik, Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, and Liam Payne. Malik departed in 2015, while the group went on hiatus in 2016. Since then, each member has pursued solo projects, with Harry Styles notably winning a Grammy in 2023 for Harry’s House.
Tragically, Liam Payne passed away in October 2024 after an accidental fall in Buenos Aires. Reports suggest that discussions of a reunion had been underway even before his death, making this project especially significant for fans.
One Direction remains one of the best-selling boy bands of all time, and this upcoming documentary could reignite the passion of millions who grew up with their music.
