WATCH: First Look At Lainey Wilson In New Trailer For Film Adaptation Of Colleen Hoover Novel, “Reminders Of Him”
She’s headed to the big screen.
Back in May, it was announced that country music’s own Lainey Wilson scored a roll in the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s hit novel “Reminders of Him.”
Variety broke the news that Wilson had been cast as Amy, and her character is a friend and coworker to the protagonist, Kenna Rowan played by Maika Monroe. The rest of the cast includes Tyriq Withers, Rudy Pankow, Lauren Graham, Bradley Whitford, and Nicholas Duvernay for her feature film debut.
“Reminders of Him” became a best-selling novel for Colleen Hoover, published in 2022 and selling over 6.5 million copies. The story follows Kenna Rowan (Monroe), who returns to her hometown after serving five years in prison for a mistake she made.
Rowan knows that she will have to make amends with many people to earn their forgiveness for her past, and the story follows her as she mends those relationships and hopes to reconnect with her daughter. Variety notes that the film is described as a “transformative feature film about motherhood, forgiveness and the power of one love to heal even the most shattered heart.”
Vanessa Caswill is set to direct “Reminders of Him.” Hoover wrote the screenplay with Lauren Levine. Hoover and Levine are also producing the film through their production company, Heartbones Entertainment. Gina Matthews is producing through her Little Engine Productions, and Robin Fisichella is executive producing. Christine Sun has been named director of production development, overseeing the project.
The film is set to hit theaters on March 13th, 2026, and we now have our first look at Lainey as Amy, who we see deliver a couple of lines in the newly-released trailer. You see her in her work uniform for a restaurant, and I will certainly be going to see this one when it hits theaters next year.

Of course, Lainey has some serious acting experience already, as she previously made her acting debut on the hit Taylor Sheridan show Yellowstone. Wilson’s character, Abby, embodied many of her real-life characteristics, as she was a musician trying to find love while juggling life on the road.
Sheridan previously shared that the character was created specifically for Lainey, and obviously, she started out on a huge project for her first time acting and she was a natural:
