What to expect
Two former almost-somethings. One very messy reunion. Could this finally be their time?
As teenagers, Ella and Roly were an unlikely duo with big dreams and even bigger plans for the future.
Ten years later? Not so much.
Ella was supposed to be building a brilliant academic career. Instead, chronic illness has forced her to move back in with her mother, abandon her studies, and watch the life she wanted drift further out of reach.
Meanwhile, Roly went from global boyband fame and sold-out arenas to being broke, unemployed, and freshly dumped by his underwear-model girlfriend after getting kicked out of Oh Boy! in spectacular fashion.
Neither of them expected to end up back where they started. And they definitely didn’t expect to find each other there too.
But as Ella and Roly reconnect, old feelings and long-forgotten dreams begin to resurface. Because growing up didn’t exactly turn out the way either of them planned… and maybe starting over is easier when someone remembers who you used to be.
Warm, funny and full of heart, The Reboot is a feel-good romantic comedy about second chances, finding yourself, and falling in love when life goes completely off script.
