After the success (and controversy) of the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel It Ends With Us, starring Blake Lively, the next Hoover story to hit our screens Regretting You is coming this autumn. And it's just dropped a hell of a trailer.
The film will star Get Out, M2GAN and Girls star Allison Williams and The Handmaid's Tale actor McKenna Grace, who play a conflict-ridden mother and daughter who must grapple with the sudden loss of the anchor of their family – and what must happen next.

Director of tearjerker The Fault In Our Stars Josh Boone will direct Regretting You, and Hoover will be an executive producer on the project.
"I think we try to keep as close to the book as possible,” a producer for Regretting You Flavia Viotti told Entertainment Weekly. “We know Colleen Hoover has a strong fan base, and we don’t want to disappoint them. But I don’t think fans will be disappointed.”
Here's everything we know so far about Regretting You.
Regretting You plot
According to the film's synopsis, Regretting You “centres on the strained relationship between young mother Morgan Grant and her teenage daughter Clara, exacerbated by Morgan's husband Chris's tragic death”.
Some serious secrets come to light after Chris's death – leading to both Morgan and Clara re-evaluating their approaches to love and life. Yes, tissues at the ready, guys.
Regretting You cast
Joining Allison Williams, Mckenna Grace and Scott Eastwood will be Dave Franco, Mason Thames, Willa Fitzgerald (Scream and The Fall of the House of Usher) and Clancy Brown.
Dave Franco will play Jonah, who becomes a love interest for Morgan’s love interest after the loss of her husband. Incidentally, he was also the boyfriend of Morgan’s sister, Jenny, played by Willa Fitzgerald, who died in the same car crash as Chris. The trailer causes us to wonder if Chris and Jenny were having an affair. Scandalous.
Franco described his character Jonah as “pretty pure-hearted and to a fault sometimes — he is always trying to do the right thing, even if it goes against what his heart is telling him” during an Entertainment Weekly interview.
Eastwood described his character Chris as “kind of just like a beer-drinking dude, which I like because I can relate to, because I am a beer-drinking dude.”
Regretting You release date
Regretting You will be out in UK cinemas on 24 October. The film completed production back in May 2025.
