Sofia Carson is going for romance again in her new film, My Oxford Year. Her latest romantic comedy follows the hugely successful The Life List, which soared to No. 1 worldwide, which dropped on Netflix on March 28, 2025 and stayed at the top for more than four weeks, remaining in the of the Global Top 10 as recently as last week.
In My Oxford Year, Carson portrays Anna, an ambitious American who heads to the University of Oxford to fulfill a lifelong dream, only to have her carefully planned future upended when she meets Jamie, a charming local, played by Corey Mylchreest (Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, The Sandman). Their encounter will profoundly alter both of their lives.
Carson also serves as executive producer on the project – her second production credit after 2022’s Purple Hearts – a role she considers important in the continuing evolution of her career, as she shared during a December interview while promoting her hit other film, Carry On.
Even her mom is joining her in the production team: Laura Char Carson is also an executive producer, alongside Caroline Levy, Christopher Simon, Maggie Monteith and Pete Harris.
The ensemble cast features Dougray Scott (Crime, Enigma), Catherine McCormack (Braveheart, Spy Game), Harry Trevaldwyn (How to Train Your Dragon, Ten Percent), Esmé Kingdom (Fallen), Nikhil Parmar (Gran Turismo, The Rig), Poppy Gilbert (Stay Close, The Catch), Romina Cocca (The Penguin Lessons, The Split (TV special)), Yadier Fernández (The Gold, The Mother), Nia Anisah (Magpie Murders, The Doll Factory), and Hugh Coles (Baby Reindeer, Atlanta).
The premiere date is set for August 1, 2025, making this Sofia Carson’s third Netflix film in less than a year.
