The world finally seems to be healing as Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson, former members of One Direction, are reuniting for a documentary set to be released on Netflix – and we cannot contain our excitement!
Fans went crazy online when the news dropped that the two were teaming up for a 3-part docu-series that follows them across the United States on a spontaneous road trip.
While much has yet to be revealed about the project, representatives for both Zayn and Louis have said it will be a rare opportunity for fans to see them open up about their lives as they chat about life, loss, and fatherhood.
This will also be the first time we truly see how the two are coping with the loss of fellow band member Liam Payne after he tragically passed away last October.
Die-hard 1Ders have been sharing their joy at the news… but also their shock, after years of Zayn and Louis’ public dispute.
Timeline of the fall out
For those who may have forgotten why there was so much bad blood between the boys, or if you were somehow unaware of the fued, here is a brief timeline of the fall out of the decade.
Back in 2015, Zayn Malik took the decision to leave One Direction after he said he wanted to focus on a solo career. While that was true, he also alluded to the fact that there were relationship issues between members, and that his time in the band was hugely different to what was being portrayed to the world.
His announcement that he would be leaving came as a shock to the rest of his band mates, with Louis Tomlinson not taking the news very well. This led to a very public argument between the two.
The Tweets
A few months after Zayn officially left the band, he embarked on his solo career and started to work with Naughty Boy, a well-known producer in the music industry. Naughty Boy came on to Twitter to post a photo of himself and Zayn with a retro filter and the caption “Replace this”.
