Former One Direction bandmates Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson set to reunite for special documentary

In a special treat for all One Direction fans, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are set to reunite for a road trip across the US. Their journey will pave the way for a three-part documentary on Netflix.

The former bandmates and buddies will be seen hitting the road for the trip, which has been described as an adventure filled with ‘reconnection, exploration and a lot of laughter’. The collaboration is expected to offer fans a rare insight into the lives of the former One Direction members. Across three episodes, the duo will be seen talking about ‘life, love, fatherhood, and even loss’, referring to the tragic demise of their former bandmate, Liam Payne.

Payne passed away in October 2024 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina.

Directed by Nicola Marsh, the show will be produced by Campfire Studios, known for its work on Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, Smartless: On the Road and America’s Sweethearts: The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

Meanwhile, both artistes are yet to comment on the news.

Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson rose to fame in 2010 after their Factor UK auditions, leading them to join the band alongside Payne, Harry Styles and Niall Horan.

On the work front, while Zayn Malik recently announced a Los Vegas residency set for January 2026, Louis Tomlinson is looking forward to the release of his third studio album, How Did I Get Here?, and a 2026 world arena tour.
