Colleen Hoover’s 2016 bestselling novel It Ends With Us is officially being adapted for the big screen – with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni taking center stage.
Released in 2016, It Ends With Us became a social media cultural phenomenon and was the top-selling print book of 2022. The novel remained on The New York Times bestseller list for over 90 weeks. The story follows a girl named Lily who falls for a doctor named Ryle — who swears by the “no girlfriends” rule — after college. Just as things turn serious (and dangerous), Lily’s first love, Atlas, reappears in her life and challenges her new relationship.
The novel was optioned in 2019 by Baldoni — who will direct and star as Ryle — and Wayfarer Studios, with Hoover working as a consultant and Chirsty Hall penning the script. Hoover announced via Instagram in January 2023 that Lively had been cast as the film’s leading lady, calling the actress her “dream Lily.”
