You Deserve Each Other: Everything To Know About The Upcoming Film Adaptation
Was it just us, or did anyone find Meghann Fahy and Penn Badgley's flirting/arguing on Instagram a little bit strange? Well, it turns out there was a reason for it. The duo are set to star in the upcoming film adaptation of Sarah Hogle's 2020 comedy romance novel You Deserve Each Other . And apparently this isn't the first time the pair have acted together… Eagle-eyed fans of Meghann Fahy – who's currently dating her White Lotus co-star Leo Woodall – have realised that she briefly starred as Devyn in Gossip Girl back in the day. We last saw Meghann Fahy on our screens in the Netflix hit Sirens ©Netflix The novel tells the story of Naomi and Nicholas. To any observer Naomi and Nicholas are the perfect couple, but despite the fact that their wedding is coming up in three short months neither of them are keen to actually make it down the aisle. Cue a series of comical, dramatic and emotional shenanigans as they both attempt to get the other to back out of the wedding and thus bear the brunt of the wedding bill. The reviews of the novel were pretty positive and You Deserve Each Other was nominated for two Goodreads Choice Awards: Best Romance and Best Debut. Author Christina Lauren said of the book, 'This book is the perfect dose of sweet, hilarious joy. It's masterful comedy plus tenderness, unique voice plus rich characters. Nicholas! Swoon! We are in love.' Other than Meghann Fahy as Naomi and Penn Badgley as Nicholas we don't know much about the cast. Safe to say fans are pretty happy with the cast list so far though. One person took to social media to write, 'Talk about a dream cast! Can't wait to see them shine together on screen,' while another said, 'THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED.' It has also been confirmed that Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn aka the geniuses behind Never Been Kissed and He's Just Not That Into You are set to direct the feature length film, which they also had a hand in helping write. Penn Badgley's hit Netflix series You came to an end with S5 earlier this year ©Netflix Unfortunately filming hasn't even started yet so we're in for a bit of a wait. As Amazon MGM are the production company behind the rom-com it'll likely be available to watch on Amazon Prime, but it might also get a theatrical release in cinemas.

Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy to lead Amazon MGM's ‘You Deserve Each Other' rom-com adaptation
Amazon MGM Studios is bringing a fresh romantic comedy to the screen with Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy starring in You Deserve Each Other, an adaptation of Sarah Hogle's bestselling novel. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project will be directed by Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn, the creative minds behind Never Been Kissed and He's Just Not That Into You, who also revised the original screenplay. The story follows Naomi and Nick, a couple who appear to be on the verge of a perfect wedding. However, they have secretly fallen out of love and each begins plotting ways to get the other to call it off. As their comedic sabotage unfolds, the narrative evolves from lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers, reigniting their feelings just in time. The book, released in 2020 by Penguin's G.P. Putnam's Sons, received multiple accolades, including nominations for Goodreads Choice Awards and recognition as an Amazon Editors' Pick. The film is being produced by Fifth Season and Likely Story. Badgley, best known for his roles in Gossip Girl and You, brings his signature edge to the rom-com genre. Fahy, who earned acclaim in The White Lotus, adds momentum with her growing list of high-profile projects. Production details and a release date for You Deserve Each Other will be announced by Amazon MGM in due course.
