- *My Oxford Year *stars Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest as a student and teaching assistant who fall in love at the prestigious university.

- The supporting cast includes Dougray Scott, Catherine McCormack, and Harry Trevaldwyn.

- *My Oxford Year *premieres on Netflix on Friday, Aug. 1.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you may even fall in love with *My Oxford Year*, a swoon-worthy romantic dramedy from Netflix starring Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest.

*My Oxford Year* is based on Julia Whelan's novel of the same name, which ** praised for its "breathtakingly perfect picture of Oxford." The film chronicles the heart-swelling love story of Anna (Carson), an enthusiastic American student studying at the University of Oxford, and Jamie Davenport (Mylchreest), a charming teaching assistant.

What starts as a whirlwind romance set against the backdrop of England's historic university takes an unexpected turn when a life-altering secret turns their relationship upside down.

Carson (*The Life List) *and Mylchreest (*Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story*) are no strangers to romantic stories, and their chemistry is on full display in the official trailer, which you can watch above.

Keep reading to meet the rest of the *My Oxford Year* cast and see who's playing who (and where you might've seen the stars before).

Sofia Carson has come a long way since her Disney Channel days. After enchanting audiences as Evie in the *Descendants* franchise (2015–2021), Carson has become one of Netflix's go-to heartbreakers. She's starred in a number of romance movies for the streamer, including *Purple Hearts *(2022) and *The Life List *(2025).

Carson crosses the pond in *My Oxford Year*, starring as Anna De La Vega, a driven New York native spending a year studying Victorian poetry at Oxford. Carson not only leads the film, but also serves as an executive producer.

In a recent interview, Carson admitted she sees a lot of herself in Anna, especially when it comes to always needing a plan. "I am so guilty of being that. I'm very Anna in my life," she said. "I think there's a lot of beauty and discipline that comes from doing that, but sometimes, you forget to live, and the moments pass you by."

Mylchreest makes his film debut as Jamie Davenport in *My Oxford Year*, playing the poetry-loving teaching assistant who changes Anna's life.
