This Time Next Year

Looking for something that actually makes you laugh, available in the US on Amazon Prime Video and fuboTV, and in the UK on Netflix? This Time Next Year delivers. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Sophie Cookson — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

There is a reason This Time Next Year keeps coming up in conversation. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate This Time Next Year from the crowd. Minnie and Quinn were both born in London on New Year’s Day, in the same hospital, one minute apart. Thirty years later — and very different people — they find themselves thrown together again in the same city on New Year’s Eve. The chemistry Sophie Cookson and Lucien Laviscount bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. This Time Next Year came out in 2024. This Time Next Year earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in This Time Next Year. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Sophie Cookson's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

This Time Next Year was released in 2024, directed by Nick Moore. The full 116-minute film is available to watch now.
