The release date for the film adaptation of 'The Love Hypothesis' has been officially set. The project will debut on September 23.
Based on the novel by Ali Hazelwood, the romantic story follows Olive Smith, portrayed by Lili Reinhart, a PhD candidate researching cancer and seeking a cure. She devises a fake dating scheme with the gruff Dr. Adam Carlsen, played by Tom Bateman, whose reputation for being tough on students precedes him, according to Deadline.
The film also features Rachel Marsh (Adults), Nicholas Duvernay (The White Lotus), Jaboukie Young-White (Companion), and Arty Froushan (Daredevil: Born Again). Marsh will play Anh, Young-White will play Malcolm, Duvernay will play Jeremy, and Froushan will play Tom.
Directed by Claire Scanlon and written by Sarah Rothschild, the film is produced by Elizabeth Cantillon. It is one of several high-profile projects arriving on Prime Video in 2026, particularly during the summer, overlapping in the romance and book adaptation genres. Lili and Tom will appear at the streamer's inaugural Obsessed Fest on June 27, alongside cast and creators of shows like Off Campus, Every Year After, and many more.
