Synopsis
In Reminders of Him, Maika Monroe stars as Kenna Rowan, a young mother returning to her hometown after serving a five-year prison sentence for a tragic mistake. Determined to reunite with her four-year-old daughter, she faces cold rejection from the community and her late boyfriend’s grieving parents, who see her only as a painful reminder of the past.
Her sole chance at redemption lies with Ledger Ward, played by Tyriq Withers, a protective bar owner and one of the few people still connected to her child. Though bitter and mistrustful at first, Ledger slowly begins to see Kenna’s sincerity as she struggles to prove she deserves forgiveness and a place in her daughter’s life.
Directed by Vanessa Caswill and set to release in cinemas on February 13, 2026, this powerful adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel is a moving story of heartbreak, healing, and second chances. Alongside Monroe and Withers, the film features Rudy Pankow, Lauren Graham, Bradley Whitford, Nicholas Duvernay, and Lainey Wilson in supporting roles, delivering a heartfelt ensemble performance that amplifies the film’s emotional core.

Summary: Reminders of Him
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover comes a transformative feature film about motherhood, forgiveness, and the power of love to overcome even the worst mistake.
After a perfect outing with her boyfriend, Kenna (Maika Monroe; The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Longlegs) makes an unbearable mistake that sends her to prison. Seven years later, Kenna returns to her hometown in Wyoming, hoping to rebuild her life and earn the chance to reunite with her young daughter, Diem—whom she has never known.
When Diem’s custodial grandparents adamantly refuse Kenna’s attempts to see her daughter, Kenna discovers unexpected compassion—and then something deeper and truer—with former NFL player and local bar owner Ledger (Tyriq Withers; HIM, I Know What You Did Last Summer). As their secret romance develops, so do the dangers for both of them, leading Kenna towards heartbreak and, ultimately, the hope for a second chance.
An Ensemble Cast
The film’s cast includes screen legends Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) and three-time Emmy winner Bradley Whitford (Get Out, The Handmaid’s Tale) as Diem’s grandparents, Grace and Patrick; Rudy Pankow (Outer Banks, Uncharted) as Scotty, Diem’s father; and Grammy winner and country music sensation Lainey Wilson (Yellowstone) as Kenna’s friend and co-worker, Amy.

Leading an all-female filmmaking team, Vanessa Caswill (Love at First Sight, Little Women mini-series) directs Reminders of Him from a screenplay by Colleen Hoover and Lauren Levine, based on Hoover’s novel.
The film is produced by Colleen Hoover (It Ends with Us, Regretting You), Lauren Levine (Bridge to Terabithia, Confess series), and Gina Matthews (Isn’t It Romantic, 13 Going on 30), and executive produced by Robin Mulcahy Fisichella.

First published in 2022, Reminders of Him has sold more than six million copies in the United States and has been translated into 45 languages. Hoover is the bestselling author of numerous blockbuster novels, including It Ends with Us, It Starts with Us, Layla, Heart Bones, Confess, and Verity.
