Verity is being released sooner than we expected

A film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel will hit the big screen on May 15th, 2026.

In a video on Instagram, Anne Hathaway confirmed that fans have just a little over a year to wait.

She wrote, "So Be It… that’s a wrap on the #VerityMovie production! See you in theaters May 15, 2026."

Hoover’s self-published novel quickly became one of the most popular books in women’s fiction.

It came as no surprise to see the book optioned with over three million copies sold.

Josh Hartnett and Dakota Johnson will also star alongside Anne Hathaway in the movie.

What is Verity by Colleen Hoover about?

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.
