It’s a summer of love over on Netflix, and My Oxford Year, starring none other than Sofia Carson and Bridgerton's Corey Mylchreest (hello!), is bringing major swoon energy.
Based on Julia Whelan's novel of the same title, the film follows Anna (Sofia)—a smart American chasing her dreams at Oxford until a brooding Brit (Mylchreest) throws her plans off course and they fall madly in love—think: Notting Hill meets Emily in Paris.

What is My Oxford Year about?
The official synopsis reads: "When Anna (Carson), an ambitious young American woman, sets out for the UK and the University of Oxford to fulfill a childhood dream, she’s got her life completely on track. That is, until she meets a charming and clever local Jamie (Mylchreest) who profoundly alters both of their lives."
The film is a story close to Mylchreest's heart. The 27-year-old actor was born in London and had his own version of an Oxford year.
"I have a friend that studied for uni in Oxford, and so there was a period of my life where I was going up and getting the train to Oxford quite frequently," the actor said.
As for Carson, her exposure to the historic campus was more similar to her fish-out-of-water character’s, with the actress saying: "I chose not to visit all the locations where we would be filming because I wanted to save my honest reaction to witnessing the magic of Oxford for the first time, for once the cameras were rolling to truly experience Oxford just as Anna would."
What time will My Oxford Year come out on Netflix?
My Oxford Year will land on Netflix on Friday August 1 at 12:00 AM PST/3:00 AM EST.
My Oxford Year airs on Netflix on Friday, August 1.
