Wattpad-inspired stories have quickly become the new wave in screen adaptations. With hits like Netflix's My Life With the Walter Boys and Amazon Prime Video's Culpable trilogy drawing in young adult romance fans, the next title set to grab the spotlight is The Love Hypothesis. Based on Ali Hazelwood's bestselling novel, the film was announced last month with Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman leading the cast. Production has only just begun, but the Riverdale alum is already stirring excitement online, teasing just enough to keep audiences eager for what's coming. Lili recently shared a new video that feels like it was pulled straight from a Wattpad daydream, instantly sparking a frenzy across social media. And if you're just as curious as we are, here's a breakdown of everything to know about the upcoming movie—from the cast to the swoon-worthy story it's bringing to life. What is The Love Hypothesis about? The Love Hypothesis follows Olive Smith, a Ph.D. student who doesn't believe in love until a spontaneous kiss with her aloof professor, Adam Carlsen, leads to a fake-dating arrangement that gradually turns into something real. The 2021 bestselling romance novel by Ali Hazelwood captivated readers with its blend of academic banter, witty humour, and swoon-worthy chemistry. The movie adaptation is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios and MRC, directed by Claire Scanlon with a screenplay by Sarah Rothschild, starring Lili Reinhart as Olive and Tom Bateman as Adam. The film is set to stream on Prime Video upon release. How Lili Reinhart has been feeding fans with BTS content The film has just gone into production, so there are high chances it won't be released until 2026, but Lili Reinhart has been doing just enough to keep fans around, dropping BTS videos and photos that do just enough to tease a twisted yet fresh romance that romance lovers love to devour. Recently, she shared a new video featuring her in a dreamy red dress and him in a sleek all-black suit, highlighting their contrasting personalities.

The lore behind The Love Hypothesis The Love Hypothesis originally began as a fanfiction titled Head Over Feet, inspired by the 'Reylo' ship—romantic fan interpretations of Rey and Kylo Ren from the Star Wars sequel trilogy. In the fanfic, the characters were Rey and Kylo Ren, but Ali Hazelwood reworked them into Olive Smith, a third-year Ph.D. student, and Dr. Adam Carlsen, her grumpy professor, for the published novel. Olive's character is loosely based on Daisy Ridley's Rey, while Adam Carlsen reflects Adam Driver's Kylo Ren. Interestingly, in the upcoming film adaptation, Adam Carlsen is played by Tom Bateman, who is married to Daisy Ridley, adding a meta layer to the casting. Isn't it fascinating?
