Paramount+ is heading on holiday with its adaptation of Beth O'Leary's hit novel The Road Trip, which follows exes Addie and Dylan as they're forced to car-share on their way to a wedding.
Although, the romcom nearly didn't make it to our screens with star Laurie Davidson narrowly avoiding death while on a road trip of his own. "I was in Costa Rica on holiday half way through filming and I was driving to the coast on a two-and-a-half hour drive," says Laurie, who plays Dylan in the show.
"I took a scenic route and it turned out to be a seasonal road for quad bikes. It was narrow with sheer drops and there was one point where I had to open my door to make sure that the wheels weren't hanging off the edge of the cliff. We couldn't turn around it was really tense.
I was actually bricking it. One of the thoughts I had was, 'What are they going to do about The Road Trip if I die? Who are they going to cast?"" he says, laughing.
