Finding Emily

From mistaken phone numbers to unexpected chemistry, Finding Emily looks ready to deliver a charming, heart-tugging rom-com with just the right amount of campus chaos.

"When a lovesick musician is given the wrong number for his dream girl, he teams up with a driven psychology student to find her. Together, they spark a hilarious campus-wide frenzy that tests their own hearts and ambitions along the way."


Directed by Alicia MacDonald and written by Rachel Hirons, the upcoming Finding Emily stars Angourie Rice, Spike Fearn, and Minnie Driver in a story that turns one wrong number into a full-blown emotional adventure.

When a hopelessly lovesick musician is accidentally given the wrong contact information for the girl of his dreams, he teams up with an ambitious psychology student to track her down. What follows is a hilarious, fast-moving campus-wide frenzy packed with awkward encounters, emotional detours, and maybe even a little unexpected romance along the way.

With the tagline “Right Name. Wrong Number.” already doing some heavy lifting, Finding Emily feels poised to become the kind of breezy late-summer crowd-pleaser audiences fall head over heels for. Check out the newly released poster and watch the trailer below now before the film arrives in theaters nationwide on August 28, 2026, from Focus Features.
