Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik from the band One Direction are set to reunite for a new Netflix show after signing a lucrative deal. The duo will be featured in a road trip documentary where they will discuss the passing of their bandmate Liam Payne. The show, described as a significant project for Netflix, will follow the singers as they journey across America, reflecting on their 15-year journey since their formation on The X Factor. Filming for the series has already commenced and is expected to premiere on the streaming platform next year, coinciding with the 10-year anniversary of the band’s breakup.
Zayn and Louis recently put an end to their long-standing feud by posting a selfie together, sparking excitement among fans. Their reconciliation comes after years of estrangement following a social media dispute in 2015. Additionally, Zayn teased a new version of One Direction’s hit song “That’s What Makes You Beautiful,” fueling speculation about a potential band reunion. Fans expressed joy over Zayn’s rendition, with one fan stating, “the mere thought of Zayn singing 1D songs warms my heart.”
The upcoming Netflix show is anticipated to delve into the band’s history, including their major milestones and the loss of Liam, who tragically passed away last year at the age of 31. The band disbanded in 2016 after Zayn’s departure to pursue a solo career. Their first reunion since 2016 occurred at Liam’s funeral in November last year.
