Colleen Hoover’s “Reminders of Him” already had its theatrical run earlier this year, but for anyone who missed it in cinemas, the film is now making its way to streaming. Here’s exactly when it lands on Netflix, who’s in it, and what the story is actually about.
Reminders of Him Netflix Release Date
“Reminders of Him” starts streaming on Netflix in the United States on November 10, 2026, following its theatrical release back on March 13, 2026. Netflix has the film on a licensing window that’s expected to run through around September 2027, after which it moves over to Peacock. For a wider look at everything else landing on the platform this month, see our full November Netflix guide.
What Is Reminders of Him About?
Based on Colleen Hoover’s 2022 novel, “Reminders of Him” follows a woman returning to the small town where she lost everything years earlier, trying to rebuild a relationship with her young daughter while confronting a community that hasn’t forgiven her for the tragedy that defined her past. It’s a heavier, more grief-driven story than some of Hoover’s other adaptations, built around guilt, forgiveness, and whether a person’s worst moment should define how everyone around them treats them afterward.
Cast and Crew
Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers lead the film, with Rudy Pankow, Lainey Wilson, Lauren Graham, and Bradley Whitford rounding out the supporting cast. Vanessa Caswill directs from a screenplay co-written by Colleen Hoover herself alongside Lauren Levine — a level of direct authorial involvement that’s become something of a selling point across Hoover’s recent run of film adaptations.
How It Performed in Theaters
The film’s theatrical run back in March gave it a head start most streaming-bound movies don’t get — reviews and word-of-mouth were already established well before this Netflix debut, rather than the film introducing itself to audiences for the first time. That track record is likely part of why Netflix picked it up for a streaming window at all: a title with an existing fanbase from Hoover’s novel plus a completed theatrical run is a lower-risk acquisition than an unproven original. The Hollywood Reporter’s coverage of the production also details Hoover’s hands-on involvement, which tracks with how closely the finished film follows the novel’s structure.
What Fans Should Expect
Anyone coming to this fresh on Netflix should expect a slower, more character-driven drama than a typical streaming-algorithm romance — this is closer to a grief drama with a romantic thread running through it than a breezy rom-com. Hoover’s direct involvement in the script is worth noting too; adaptations she’s co-written have generally stayed closer to the emotional beats of her novels than adaptations she wasn’t involved in, which should matter to readers deciding whether to watch. If you’re building out a watchlist for the week, check our guide to Jessica Chastain’s Heartland, also landing on Netflix this same window.
That faithfulness is likely to matter most to readers who already know exactly how the novel’s ending lands.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Reminders of Him Fits Among Hoover’s Other Adaptations
Hollywood has leaned heavily into Colleen Hoover adaptations over the past couple of years, and “Reminders of Him” arrives with a noticeably different tone than the lighter, more commercial entries in that wave. Where some adaptations have played up the romance angle for marketing purposes, this one centers its grief and small-town-judgment plot more directly, which is part of why Hoover’s own screenplay involvement matters so much here — a writer adapting her own darker material is less likely to soften it for a broader streaming audience than an outside screenwriter might be. That makes it a slightly riskier pick for casual viewers expecting something breezier, but a more faithful one for readers who loved the book specifically because it didn’t pull punches.
