Colleen Hoover is a name everyone knows, and whether you like her novels or not, you have to admit that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the romance space of the literary genre!
The author has been writing books since 2012, and has written over 20 books, almost all of which have become bestsellers and BookTok sensations. Her stories are primarily centered around the themes of love, heartbreak, grief, and second chances, but she has also written psychological thrillers, which have been well-received by readers.
Her first book adaptation was when her book, Confess, was adapted into a TV series released in 2017. However, her big Hollywood break came when one of her most popular books, It Ends With Us, was adapted into a movie, starring Blake Lively.
Since the movie’s release in August 2024, three more of Colleen Hoover’s novels are being adapted for the screen, including Verity, Reminders of Him, and Regretting You.
All these books that are getting movie adaptations bring something different to the big screen—a mix of suspense, romance, and heartbreak that made you fall in love with her books in the first place. There’s already excitement building around cast announcements and filming updates for these projects because, unlike TV shows like ACOTAR, which has been cancelled, all her movie adaptations have release dates!
So, let’s take a closer look at the details of each Colleen Hoover book-to-movie adaptation, including the cast and crew, and when they are expected to be released.
All Colleen Hoovers Books Getting A Movie Adaptation:
1. Regretting You
Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You, published in 2019, tells the story of a mother-daughter relationship following a tragic death in the family.
The book tells the story of Morgan Grant and Clara Grant, a mother-daughter duo. Morgan had Clara at a very young age, which is why she had to sacrifice her own dreams, and Clara doesn’t want a life like her mother’s. But when Chris, Morgan’s husband and Clara’s father, dies in an accident, their life spirals out of control.
The movie features a large star cast, with some of the top names in Hollywood attached to the project. The film stars Allison Williams as Morgan, McKenna Grace as Clara, Scott Eastwood as Chris Grant, and then there’s Dave Franco, Mason Thames, Clancy Brown, Willa Fitzgerald, among others.
Josh Boone, the director of The Fault in Our Stars, is the director of this adaptation. That might give you high hopes for the emotional depth and style you’ll see on screen.
The movie “Regretting You“ is set to be released in theaters on October 24, 2025.
2. Reminders of Him
The next book by Colleen Hoover, which is being adapted into a movie, is Reminders of Him, a story about a young mother’s struggle to reunite with her daughter after serving five years in prison.
After serving time in prison, Kenna Rowan returns to her hometown, hoping to reconnect with her daughter. But all’s not well because no one is on good terms with her, and they don’t want her to go near her daughter. Amidst all this, Ledger Ward, a local bar owner, stands out as the only one who doesn’t immediately shut Kenna out.
The novel explores themes of forgiveness, hope, and second chances—expect the film to also focus on these. You can look forward to seeing Kenna’s journey on screen, including her complicated relationships and the emotional challenges she faces in a small town.
The movie stars Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers as Kenna Rowan and Ledger Ward, respectively. We also have Rudy Pankow, Bradley Whitford, and Lauren Graham joining the star cast. Vanessa Caswill dons the director’s hat, with Colleen Hoover and Lauren Levine writing the movie’s screenplay.
The Reminders of Him movie, produced by Universal, is set to be released in theaters on March 13, 2026!
3. Verity
Colleen Hoover’s Verity is the final book, for now at least, that is being turned into a movie, and it is backed by Amazon MGM Studios.
This novel is unique because it is a psychological thriller, unlike the author’s other books, which mostly feature the themes of contemporary romance, heartbreak, grief, abuse, and healing.
The plot revolves around Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer hired to finish a series for famous author Verity Crawford. Verity has been bedridden following a mysterious car accident, so her husband, Jeremy, seeks out Lowen to finish her best-selling series.
But as Lowen goes through Verity’s work, she discovers her unfinished autobiography, which contains dangerous secrets that make her wonder whether Verity is incapacitated or if she is faking it?!
You can expect some dark twists, eerie secrets, and plenty of suspense—exactly what fans loved about the book, making it a worldwide bestseller.
Regarding the movie adaptation, it features some of the biggest names in Hollywood, with Anne Hathaway cast as Verity Crawford and Josh Hartnett playing her husband, Jeremy Crawford. Dakota Johnson is cast in the role of Lowen Ashleigh.
The film has wrapped up production, and its release date is set for October 2, 2026.
