Universal has unveiled the premise for its upcoming romantic comedy, 'One Night Only,' directed by Will Gluck. The film is set in a world where premarital intimacy is restricted to a single night each year.

Gluck, who previously directed successful films like 'Easy A' and 'Friends with Benefits,' as well as the hit 'Anyone But You,' is returning to the rom-com space. The script is based on an original by Travis Braun, which was recognized on the 2024 Black List.
The film also features a notable supporting cast including Molly Ringwald, LeVar Burton, Maya Hawke, Julia Fox, and Este Haim. 'One Night Only' is scheduled to premiere on August 7. This date places it in competition with other anticipated releases such as 'Super Troopers 3' and Eli Roth's 'Ice Cream Man.'
