Following the success of It Ends With Us, the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel of the same name, Universal Pictures has won a bidding war for the rights to adapt the author's Reminders of Him into a film. The makers have planned to release the film in theatres on February 13, 2026, just ahead of Valentine's Day.
Colleen Hoover is writing the screenplay of Reminders of Him with Lauren Levine. The book, which has sold 6.5 million copies globally, and has been translated into 45 languages, is said to be a "transformative feature about motherhood, forgiveness, and the power of one love to heal even the most shattered heart."
It follows Kenna Rowan, who returns to town after a five-year prison stint, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out. The only person who hasn’t closed the door on her completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kenna’s daughter. Details regarding the cast are yet to be announced.
Apart from penning the screenplay, Hoover and Levine will be producing through their Heartbones Entertainment. Levine has previously worked with MTV, Nickelodeon, and Walden Media as a producer on the 2007 film Bridge to Terabithia.
Sony had distributed It Ends With Us which starred Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in lead roles. It was a sleeper hit and the film raked in $344 million worldwide. Hoover had written a sequel novel It Starts With Us to it, but a follow up film seems unlikely.
