"I am thrilled to be working with Universal to bring Kenna Rowan's world to life," Hoover said, per Deadline. "I hear from many readers who tell me they found something of themselves in her story of living with and through tragedy and doing the often messy and imperfect work of healing and turning the page to a fresh chapter in life. I am excited as 'Reminders of Him' holds a special place in my heart too."

'It Ends With Us':Five major changes between the book and movie

News of the film follows the success of "It Ends With Us," the first movie based on one of Hoover's hugely popular books. Starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, it grossed an impressive $344 million at the worldwide box office, according to Box Office Mojo, which has surely led to further interest among studios in Hoover's other novels.

But the film also attracted its fair share of controversy, with some accusing Lively of not taking the movie's themes of domestic violence seriously enough in interviews to promote the film. There were also unconfirmed rumors of friction between Lively and Baldoni, the latter of whom also directed the film.

What other Colleen Hoover movies are in the works?

"It Ends With Us" received a sequel novel, "It Starts with Us," in 2022, but it's unclear whether a movie follow-up could also be in the cards. Baldoni previously told Entertainment Tonight that if a sequel happens, Lively should direct it.

In addition to "Reminders of Him," at least two other Hoover novels are also headed to the big screen: "Verity" and "Regretting You." In August, Hoover said on "Watch What Happens Live" that she "just read the script" for the "Verity" movie and was "excited" about the project. According to Deadline, the "Regretting You" film adaptation will star Allison Williams, Mckenna Grace, Dave Franco and Mason Thames.

'Reminders of Him' movie release date

No casting for "Reminders of Him" has been announced, but fans won't have to wait long for the film. It's set for release on Feb. 13. 2026, just in time for Valentine's Day.
