What Is This Time Next Year About?

The upcoming feature will center on Quinn Hamilton (Laviscount) and Minnie Cooper (Cookson), who — despite their differences — share the same birthday, birth year, and birthplace. Both of them were even born in the same London-based hospital.

Though they entered the world on the same day, their worlds couldn’t be more different: Quinn seems to have his life figured out, while Minnie’s life is filled with an unfortunate series of events. Minnie grew up believing that her birthday was forever cursed because of a man she had never met — until they accidentally met each other during their thirtieth birthday.

“Flung together at a New Year’s Eve party, Minnie and Quinn quickly realize they share a connection — they were born on New Year’s Day of the same year, in the same London hospital, one minute apart,” the synopsis reads. “Minnie grew up convinced that this mysterious Quinn — born first — stole the name her mother planned for her, and with it all her luck, setting her on a path of misfortune. Horrified at the misunderstanding, Quinn is set on making amends. But is it Quinn or is it fate that is scheming to bring the two together?”
