Paramount will bring “Regretting You,” the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, to theaters on October 24. The mother-daughter drama stars Mckenna Grace as Clara Grant alongside Allison Williams as Morgan Grant, with Dave Franco and Mason Thames in key roles.
“Regretting You” follows Morgan, a young mom who put her own ambitions on hold, and Clara, a teen determined to find her own voice. When a tragic accident upends their family, long-buried secrets surface and the pair must navigate grief, trust, and how to move forward together. The story balances intimate family stakes with a coming-of-age romance between Clara and Miller, played by Mason Thames.
The film is directed by Josh Boone from a screenplay by Susan McMartin. The producing team includes Brunson Green, Anna Todd, Flavia Viotti, and Robert Kulzer, with Colleen Hoover among the executive producers. Principal photography took place this spring in the Atlanta area.
Alongside Williams, Grace, Franco, and Thames, the ensemble features Willa Fitzgerald, Scott Eastwood, and Clancy Brown. For readers who discovered Hoover through BookTok, the adaptation aims to capture the novel’s mix of heartbreak and hope while introducing moments of warmth and humor that feel true to everyday family life.
Our readers know Mckenna Grace’s work well, and “Regretting You” gives her a grounded lead role that leans into both her dramatic instincts and the authenticity she brings to teen characters. With Boone emphasizing an emotional, accessible tone, the film positions itself as a cross-generational drama for parents and teens alike.
“Regretting You” opens in theaters on October 24. Watch the trailer below.
