Paramount’s Regretting You is aiming straight for the throat, not the hashtag.
It opens in US cinemas on 24 October 2025 with Allison Williams as Morgan and Mckenna Grace as Clara, directed by Josh Boone; Germany goes a day earlier via Constantin.
The trailer that dropped four weeks ago plays like Clara’s before/after diary.
Sunlit kitchen chatter snaps to the hush of a funeral, then to over-the-table exchanges where people stop mid-sentence as if finishing would make something true.
In between, there are soft, breath-saving moments with Mason Thames as Miller; back home, the temperature drops again.
Watch the official cut below and you’ll see why the film keeps its reveal off-screen while locking the date in.
Here’s the shape, minus hand-holding: a crash tears through a family, and what surfaces afterward rearranges loyalties.
Morgan tries to keep the house standing; Clara wants plain answers; first love gives her a place to stand that isn’t rubble.
Boone has worked this register before with The Fault in Our Stars, and the cut suggests the same clean, unsarcastic emotional line.
As an advance preview, it looks steady and well-cast rather than shouty, promising on familiar ground.
Cast members you’ll want before booking: Williams and Grace at the centre; Dave Franco as Jonah; Mason Thames as Miller; Willa Fitzgerald as Jenny; Clancy Brown as Hank; and yes, Scott Eastwood as Chris.
One change from page to screen is the setting. Production started in the Atlanta area on March 3, 2025, and ran through spring, so expect neighbourhood textures that feel Georgia, not Texas.
That geography won’t change the backbone of the story, mother and daughter clawing their way back to each other, but it will change the background you’re looking at when they do.
Hoover’s readership is massive and polarizing; after It Ends With Us blew up the conversation, the next adaptation comes with eyes already on it.
Early coverage from mainstream outlets frames Regretting You as the gentler, steadier play, less scandal marketing, more parent-teen heartline, while still acknowledging the fault lines that make Hoover a lightning rod.
That push-pull will likely fuel interest as much as the cast.
The film is out 23 October 2025 in Germany via Constantin and 24 October 2025 in the United States via Paramount; the official site already hosts the trailer and will flip to tickets nearer release. See official site.
If you’re building a watchlist, the cut is promising without overexplaining, the ensemble looks well-cast for the silences, and the teen romance thread is present but not the point.
