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 is Regretting You, out this fall. And it just dropped a hell of a trailer.
The film stars Allison Williams and The Handmaid’s Tale actor McKenna Grace as a conflict-ridden mother and daughter who must grapple with the sudden loss of the anchor of their family
Josh Boone, who directed the tearjerker The Fault in Our Stars, 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,” Regretting You producer 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.
What’s the plot of Regretting You?
According to the film’s synopsis, Regretting You “centers 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.

Who’s in the cast?
Joining Allison Williams, Mckenna Grace, and Scott Eastwood will be Dave Franco, Mason Thames, Willa Fitzgerald, and Clancy Brown.
Dave Franco plays Jonah, 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.
