Outer Banks actor Rudy Pankow is the latest to join the cast of the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him. He will be joining Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers in the Universal Pictures’ adaptation.

Hoover and Lauren Levine have penned the script which Vanessa Caswill is set to direct. Reminders of Him tells the story of Kenna Rowan, who goes back to her hometown after serving a five-year prison sentence, seeking redemption and a reunion with her young daughter. Despite facing resistance from everyone except local bar owner Ledger Ward, Kenna forms a connection with him, but their blossoming romance risks jeopardising her chances of rebuilding her life and healing from past mistakes.

The adaptation is produced under the Heartbones Entertainment banner by Hoover and Levine and under the Little Engine Productions banner by Gina Matthews. Robin Fisichella will serve as executive producer.

A No. 1 New York Times bestselling novel, Reminders of Him, published in 2022, sold well over 6 million copies. This adaptation comes after Hoover’s It Ends With Us adaptation. In the pipeline are adaptations of Verity and Regretting You.

Pankow was last seen in the fourth season of Outer Banks as JJ. He also featured in the production of Romeo & Juliet at the American Repertory Theatre at Harvard University as the titular character.
