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.

'You Deserve Each Other': All About the Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy-Led Romantic Comedy (Which Is Based on a Best-Selling Novel!)
Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy will star in the film adaptation of Sarah Hogle's novel You Deserve Each Other The movie will follow an engaged couple who secretly despise each another Badgley and Fahy staged a fight online to promote the filmPenn Badgley and Meghann Fahy are teaming up for a new rom-com. On June 30, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the actors will star in You Deserve Each Other, a film adaptation of Sarah Hogle's 2020 novel of the same name. The romantic comedy will follow Naomi (Fahy) and Nick (Badgley), an engaged couple who secretly can't stand each other and engage in hilarious pranks to get the other to call off the wedding — only to rediscover their love along the way. "I love [Naomi and Nick] because they are both so soft on the inside, even though they've been keeping their guards up, and as the book progresses, they each learn that the person they've been shutting out is the person who is actually their perfect match," Hogle told eleven thirteen pm in April 2020. On the day of the casting announcement, Fahy and Badgley made headlines when they engaged in a faux online feud to promote the film. From the release date to the plot, here's everything to know about Badgley and Fahy's romantic comedy, You Deserve Each Other. You Deserve Each Other will follow the plot of Hogle's novel of the same name. Naomi and Nick are a seemingly perfect engaged couple who have grown to secretly resent each other. Naomi, tired of pretending everything is fine, realizes she's stuck in the relationship unless Nick calls off the wedding (otherwise, she'd be on the hook for the nonrefundable expenses). But Nick seems equally fed up, and the pair enter into a battle of pranks and sabotage to make the other pull the plug. However, as their feud escalates, Naomi and Nick begin to remember why they fell in love in the first place. You Deserve Each Other explores how love can sometimes be rediscovered right where you left it. Hogle's novel was a two-time Goodreads Choice Awards nominee and an Amazon Editors' Pick for best romance. Badgley and Fahy will headline You Deserve Each Other as Nick and Naomi. At this time, no other cast members have been announced. Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn — a.k.a. the writers behind Never Been Kissed and He's Just Not That Into You — are set to direct the film. The duo met in film school, they told BUILD in 2018, and have been tag-teaming projects since 1997. The script was initially written by Brett Haley and Marc Basch, but was ultimately revised by Silverstein and Kohn. I Feel Pretty — which premiered in 2018 and starred Amy Schumer — marked Silverstein and Kohn's directorial debut. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Penn Badgley (@pennbadgley) On the same day as the casting announcement, Badgley and Fahy engaged in some friendly banter on Instagram to promote the upcoming film — which seems like something their characters, Nick and Naomi, might do. 'Okay, so, I don't usually do this, but my wife and I just finished Sirens. Want to give her her flowers," Badgley said in a video. "Now obviously there's Julianne [Moore], there's Kevin [Bacon], there's Milly [Alcock], but this Meghann Fahy? This newcomer? This, like, refreshing, gawky beauty? Love it. Love you.' In the comments, Fahy wrote, 'Penn! This is so kind. Thank you. Tell Domino [Kirke] I say hi. And that her taste is flawless.' The exchange quickly devolved, with Fahy taking issue with Badgley's "gawky" comment and telling him to "chill on the body stuff." 'Whoa I've obviously been very supportive and complimentary but this feels like a trap,' Badgley replied. Fahy shot back, 'There you go again with that trapping thing. Heard you did a lot of that on your show. I never watched it.' After Badgley noted that You "succeeded without your support,' Fahy wrote, 'And without your range.' The replies ended with Badgley writing, 'One Emmy loss and suddenly you're Meryl Streep.' A release date for You Deserve Each Other has not been announced. Read the original article on People

Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy cast in You Deserve Each Other
Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy are to star in the romantic comedy You Deserve Each Other. The pair have signed up for the Amazon MGM movie based on the novel by Sarah Hogle that is being directed by Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn, the writing team behind the hit rom-coms Never Been Kissed and He's Just Not That Into You. The duo have also revised the script that was initially penned by Brett Haley and Marc Basch. You Deserve Each Other tells the story of Naomi and Nick, a couple who are about to get married and live happily ever after except for one important thing - they've fallen completely out of love with each other. With their wedding fast approaching and the pressure rising, the duo both resolve to secretly push the other into calling off the ceremony by any means possible - including pranks, sabotage and all-out emotional warfare. Badgley previously starred in the hit teen drama series Gossip Girl in the role of Dan Humphrey but admits that he was "close to broke" before he landed the part. During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast earlier this year, the 38-year-old actor explained: "I was financially independent by 15. I wasn't always the breadwinner, but I've always needed to and wanted to provide support for my parents since then." Penn admits that he was "tired of television" before Gossip Girl and only accepted the role because he needed the cash. He explained: "I was close to broke, although I was looking forward to figuring that out. "The future was a real unknown and I think the stakes [were] high." Penn has reinvented himself by playing serial killer Joe Goldberg in the Netflix series You but accepts that he will be defined by his work on Gossip Girl. He said: "I'm going to be 39 this year. Next year, I will be 40. I will still be answering questions about this show I decided to do when I was 20. And whatever. That is what it is ... It sets you on a certain track that you have to in a sense resist. Work with it, interface with it. Otherwise, it just sort of takes you on its ride." Gossip Girl made Penn a household name aged just 20 and he has had to "really grapple" with the downsides of being in the spotlight. He told The Guardian newspaper: "[Fame is] extremely unnatural, just the way that people want to relate to you. It's not a new idea that fame has all these nefarious dimensions to it. "And in order to even appreciate or utilise the privileges that come with it, one has to really grapple with the ways in which it's completely disabled parts of you or your life, or your relationship to others and society. "The privileges and the sacrifices are both extreme and obscene, and so you have to take them both. In order to be a decent person, a good father and a husband, a good friend, a responsible colleague, I've been grappling with all the ways in which this stuff is just not a good way for somebody to live."
