Watch: 'Regretting You' trailer brings Colleen Hoover novel to life
Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Paramount Pictures is previewing the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's book Regretting You, starring Allison Williams and McKenna Grace.
Williams and Grace portray Morgan and Grace Grant, a mother and daughter whose lives are upended when a car accident kills Morgan's husband and her sister, Clara's Aunt Jenny.
Clara must navigate grief, her growing feelings for "the coolest guy in school" (Mason Thames), and her difficult relationship with her mother.
Dave Franco stars as Jenny's bereft husband, Jonah.
The trailer released Tuesday shows Jonah and Morgan learning their spouses were together for a reason when they died, and that realization "forces them to confront family secrets, redefine love and rediscover each other," according to an official description.
Scott Eastwood and Will Fitzgerald also star.
Josh Boone, who directed The Fault in Our Stars helms Regretting You, which arrives in theaters Oct. 24.
Hoover confirmed on social media that the film adaptations of her novels Reminders of Him and Verity have also finished production and will be released Feb. 6 2026, and Oct. 2, 2026, respectively.

The new trailer for Colleen Hoover's 'Regretting You' film — starring Allison Williams, Dave Franco and McKenna Grace — will make you feel everything
The film is headed to theaters Oct. 24, 2025. Passionate romance, crushing loss and deep family secrets: A new trailer just dropped for the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 2019 novel Regretting You, and it's looking like yet another weepy, life-affirming tale from the author that brought the world It Ends With Us. Regretting You centers on a tight-knit family. M3GHAN star Allison Williams plays Morgan, who is mom to teenager Clara with her high school sweetheart husband, Chris (Scott Eastwood). Her sister, Jenny, played by The Fall of the House of Usher star Willa Fitzgerald, is married to Jonah, portrayed by Dave Franco. At first, things seem great with the family: Clara is falling in love with 'coolest guy in school' Miller (Mason Thames). But then, as it often does in Hoover novels, tragedy strikes: Clara's aunt Jenny and father Chris die in a car accident together, leaving the rest of the family grieving … and with plenty of questions. Why were Jenny and Chris together? Could they have been having an affair? Morgan did always say her sister was a little too good at keeping secrets. Fans of the book will know how this story plays out, but you don't need to have read the novel to know you should probably bring tissues to the theater. As Franco's and Williams's characters grieve, they're pulled toward one another, just as Clara is falling in love for the first time and feeling guilty about her newfound happiness. It's a swirl of emotions for everyone! Hoover, who initially self-published her first novel, Slammed, in 2012, before she was signed by a major publisher, has become one of the most popular authors of the BookTok era, with several of her 26 novels getting the big screen treatment. The Justin Baldoni adaptation of her novel It Ends With Us hit theaters in August 2024 — and while the film has been at the center of the ongoing legal battle between Baldoni and his costar Blake Lively, it hasn't stopped additional interest in Hoover's work. In addition to Regretting You, Hoover's psychological thriller Verity will become an Amazon movie starring Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway, who plays the titular character. The film drops Oct. 2, 2026. Meanwhile, Hoover's latest novel, Reminders of Him, which came out in 2022, is being adapted into a film with Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers. It's slated for February 2026. Regretting You hits theaters on Oct. 24, 2025. Check out the trailer below. Solve the daily Crossword
