Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson reunite for a three-part Road Trip documentary on Netflix, read details

Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson’ 'Road Trip'

Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are back together—though not for music, at least not yet. The former One Direction stars have teamed up for a new Netflix three-part documentary series that follows the duo on a road trip across America.

The show, billed as a “spontaneous adventure,” promises reconnection, exploration, and plenty of laughter.

For fans who’ve long wondered what life looks like behind closed doors for two of the band’s most private members, this is about to be a rare glimpse.

Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson open up about life, love, fatherhood, and loss, including candid conversations sparked by the death of Liam Payne in October 2024. Liam Payne passed away in Argentina at just 31, a loss still felt deeply across the fandom.

Behind the wheel, behind the walls

Directed by Nicola Marsh (Song Exploder, Stay on Board: The Leo Baker Story), the project is produced by Campfire Studios, the team behind Unknown Number: The High School Catfish and Smartless: On the Road.

The format is intimate—three episodes, each packed with road miles, heart-to-hearts, and moments where Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson remind fans why their dynamic once stood at the core of One Direction’s appeal. It’s not about the stadium lights this time. It’s about two friends figuring things out, with the cameras rolling.

Both stars juggle solo success

This reunion comes during a packed season for both artists. Zayn Malik just wrapped a run supporting his fourth solo album Room Under the Stairs and is gearing up for a Las Vegas residency starting January. Louis Tomlinson, meanwhile, is readying his third studio album How Did I Get Here?, dropping January 23, followed by a 2026 world arena tour.

On his new record, Louis Tomlinson didn’t mince words: “I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make.’ I wear my heart on my sleeve… I’m finally allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”
