Bleecker Street has dropped the official What Happens Later trailer for the upcoming romantic comedy, starring Meg Ryan and David Duchovny as two exes who suddenly meet each other again at the airport after both of their flights get delayed. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on October 13.
This marks Ryan’s first romantic comedy in more than a decade, following performances in Serious Moonlight, My Mom’s New Boyfriend, In the Land of Women, Kate & Leopold, You’ve Got Mail, and When Harry Met Sally. The new movie is also the second time that the Golden Globe nominee has stepped into the director’s chair following 2015’s drama film Ithaca.

“In the film, two ex-lovers, Bill and Willa, get snowed in at a regional airport overnight,” reads the synopsis. “Indefinitely delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something more enchanted.”
Ryan directed What Happens Later from a screenplay she co-wrote with Steven Dietz and Lynn, based on Dietz’s Shooting Star play. The R-rated movie is produced by Jonathan Duffy, Kelly Williams, Laura D. Smith, and Kristin Mann.
