Directed by The Fault in Our Stars filmmaker Josh Boone and written by , the film premiered the two-minute preview on August 5, 2025, offering a powerful look at grief, betrayal, and the fragile bonds of family. The trailer centers on Allison Williams as Morgan Grant, a devoted mother whose life unravels after the sudden deaths of her husband and sister. Her teenage daughter, Clara —played by McKenna Grace —grapples with loss, anger, and estrangement. As buried secrets emerge, their relationship is tested in deeply emotional and unexpected ways. Supporting cast members Dave Franco, Scott Eastwood, Willa Fitzgerald, and Mason Thames bring additional depth to the narrative. Franco plays Jonah, Morgan's brother-in-law. The trailer hints at a romantic arc between Clara and Miller, her classmate, which may play a more significant role than in the original novel. Released ahead of its October 24, 2025, theatrical debut, Regretting You is poised to become a poignant family drama. Early reactions on X (formerly Twitter) have been mixed. While some viewers applaud the emotional weight and casting, others criticize the trailer for being overly revealing and formulaic, drawing parallels to Nicholas Sparks‑style rom-coms. With its release date set and the trailer creating early buzz, Regretting You is shaping up to be a modern, emotionally-driven film that explores the complexities of love, loss, and reconciliation.
