Has Zayn Malik Really Rejoined ‘One Direction': Here's Truth

Zayn Malik’s control registration at PPM Music Limited is linked to brand ownership, not a reunion, despite fan hopes amid ongoing solo careers and Liam Payne’s 2024 passing.

  • On 3 November 2025, Zayn Malik re-registered as a person with significant control at PPM Music Limited, prompting fan speculation after Companies House updated the filing.
  • Historically, Malik's director appointment ended on May 21, 2016, while other members left on Dec. 31, 2022.
  • Companies House records indicate a Nov. 3 address update for Malik, with active PPM Music Limited directors Lawrence Engel and Alan McEvoy unchanged, while Attitude debunked reunion claims.
  • Fans and Directioners continue to hope for a reunion, especially after Liam Payne's death, but there is no official confirmation and Malik and Tomlinson recently announced a limited Netflix series.
  • Given U.K. rules, 'person with significant control' denotes ownership stakes at 25%, and analysts say the filing concerns brand ownership and finances, not a reunion; original shareholders listed since 2016 include the remaining four members.
