Netflix has released a staggering number of teen dramas over the years, but few have fared as well with audiences as the To All The Boys I Loved Before trilogy, adapted from Jenny Han\u2019s books by screenwriter Sofia Alvarez.<\/p>\n

Hopes will be high, then, that Alvarez\u2019s upcoming directorial debut will prove just as successful, with the filmmaker having once again turned to a best-selling romance novel for inspiration.<\/p>\n

Along for the Ride is based on the 2009 novel of the same name<\/a> by Sarah Dessen and follows the unlikely bond that forms between an introverted teenager and a mysterious stranger she meets the summer before starting college.<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know \u2013 including who\u2019s in the cast and when the film will be arriving on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The cast for the film is led by two relative unknowns \u2013 with Emma Pasarow and Belmont Cameli taking on the lead roles of Auden and Eli respectively.<\/p>\n

Pasarow has previously appeared in the comedy-drama film Am I OK?, which debuted at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, as well as three episodes of the Showtime series Super Pumped.<\/p>

Meanwhile, Cameli had a main role as Jamie Spano in the Saved by the Bell reboot and has appeared in the films The Husband and Most Guys are Losers.<\/p>\n

They are joined in the cast by a number of bigger names including Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns, The I-Land), Dermot Mulroney (Shameless, My Best Friend\u2019s Wedding), and Andie McDowell (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Maid).<\/p>\n

The film is based on the novel of the same name<\/a> by Sarah Dessen and follows events after Auden meets a fellow insomniac the summer before she begins college.<\/p>\n

Instantly hitting it off, the pair begin embarking on a number of nighttime excursions that give Auden a taste of the carefree teen life she\u2019d never known she wanted as she begins a journey of self-discovery.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis provided by Netflix reads: \u201cIt\u2019s Auden\u2019s last summer before college and she\u2019s spending it in picturesque Colby Beach. While other teens party in the sun, loner Auden spends her time roaming the streets after everyone else is asleep.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything changes when she meets Eli, a charming and mysterious fellow insomniac. On their nightly adventures, Eli challenges Auden to a quest to live out all her childhood dreams. Their connection pushes them to confront why they\u2019ve been content living life in the shadows as they begin to show each other how to live life to the fullest.\u201d<\/p>\n
