It Ends With Us
It Ends With Us was the first Colleen Hoover book to reach the screen, releasing in August 2024. Blake Lively starred as Lily Bloom and Justin Baldoni played Ryle Kincaid. Baldoni also directed. The film follows Lily as she navigates a complicated relationship that mirrors her mother's abusive marriage.
The production was surrounded by controversy. Lively and Baldoni ran separate press tours, and lawsuits followed the release. Despite the behind-the-scenes drama, the film performed well commercially and introduced the book to a wider audience.
The sequel novel, It Starts With Us, picks up after the events of the first book. As of August 2026, there are no active plans to adapt it. Hoover told Variety in March 2026 that she has “no plans” for a sequel film, though she left the door open if the original producers approached her.
Regretting You
Regretting You released in theaters October 24, 2025, and began streaming on Paramount+ on December 23, 2025. Allison Williams plays Morgan Grant, a mother forced to rebuild her life after a devastating loss. Mckenna Grace plays her teenage daughter Clara, and Dave Franco plays Jonah Sullivan, the teacher who becomes a controversial figure in both their lives.
Josh Boone directed. The film earned $90.5 million worldwide, with a $13.7 million opening weekend. Critics were mixed, with a 29% Rotten Tomatoes score and a 33 on Metacritic, but audiences gave it a B CinemaScore.
For full details on the cast, box office, and where to watch, see the Regretting You movie guide.
Reminders of Him
Reminders of Him released in theaters March 13, 2026, after being delayed twice from its original February 6 date. The film stars Maika Monroe as Kenna Rowan, a young mother trying to reconnect with her daughter after being released from prison. Tyriq Withers plays Ledger Ward, the bar owner who becomes her unexpected ally and love interest.
This was the first Colleen Hoover adaptation where Hoover co-wrote the screenplay, working with Lauren Levine. The film was directed by Vanessa Caswill and filmed in Calgary from April to June 2025. It has been streaming on Peacock since July 10, 2026.
For full details on the cast, production, and streaming availability, see the Reminders of Him movie guide.
Verity
Verity releases in theaters October 2, 2026. Anne Hathaway stars as Verity Crawford, the bedridden thriller author at the center of a dark mystery. Dakota Johnson plays Lowen Ashleigh, the struggling writer hired to finish Verity's book series. Josh Hartnett plays Jeremy Crawford, Verity's husband.
Directed by Michael Showalter and rated R, Verity is the first Colleen Hoover adaptation that is a psychological thriller rather than a romance or family drama. The film took seven years from option to release and filmed in New York City in early 2025. The trailer dropped August 11, 2026.
For full details on the cast, release date, and what to know if you read the book, see the Verity movie guide.
Will there be an It Starts With Us movie?
As of August 2026, there are no plans for an It Starts With Us movie. Colleen Hoover told Variety in March 2026 that she has “no plans” to make a movie adaptation of the sequel, though she clarified she would not “step away from it if the producers of the first film approach her.”
The It Ends With Us film faced production drama, including lawsuits and separate press tours between Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni. That controversy, combined with Hoover's public statement, suggests a sequel is unlikely in the near term. If plans change, it will likely be announced through trade publications like Variety or Deadline.
Which Colleen Hoover book to read first
If you plan to watch the adaptations and want to read the books first, the order depends on which films you care about most. It Ends With Us and It Starts With Us are the only two books that need to be read in order, as It Starts With Us is a direct sequel. Read It Ends With Us first if you plan to read both.
Otherwise, every Colleen Hoover book is standalone. Verity is her most popular psychological thriller and a good starting point if you want something darker and twistier than typical romance. It Ends With Us is her bestselling contemporary romance and deals with domestic abuse, second chances, and hard choices. Regretting You is an emotional mother-daughter story about grief and rebuilding. Reminders of Him is about second chances and redemption after incarceration.
