Even before Sofia Carson was named “Netflix’s first bona fide movie star” by Vanity Fair, her My Oxford Year costar Corey Mylchreest was certain acting with her would ensure their project’s success. “As soon as I knew Sofia was involved, I thought, ‘Here's a Netflix number one,’” Mylchreest tells Teen Vogue, laughing.

From Temple Hill & Netflix, My Oxford Year is the latest Sofia Carson vehicle for the streamer, her 6th film in the last 5 years and her 2nd of 2025 after The Life List arrived in late March.

My Oxford Year was filmed on location at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England, as well as other locations in England. The production had ample access to Magdalen College, one of the most prestigious and beautiful colleges at Oxford. It’s famous for the Magdalen Tower, a landmark of the university.
