The "Romantic" First Look At Colleen Hoover's 'Regretting You' Is Bursting With Chemistry

The "Romantic" First Look At Colleen Hoover's 'Regretting You' Is Bursting With Chemistry

Yahoo16 hours ago
Colleen Hoover (and her books) aren't afraid to make a statement. BookTok is still reeling from , while the rest of the internet can't stop talking about the cast. Hoover's newest adaptation, Regretting You, is just as gripping and emotional as all her other stories. The movie is based on the 2019 novel of the same name, and while centers around romantic relationships, Regretting You is all about mother-daughter relationships and moving through grief.
And thanks to , we have a first look at the movie!
Here's everything you need to know about Colleen Hoover's Regretting You movie, coming to theaters October 24, 2025.
What is the book Regretting You about?
Regretting You follows Morgan Grant (played by Allison Williams), who put her dreams on hold years ago when she got pregnant with her daughter Clara (McKenna Grace). Their age gap mirrors the one we see we see between Lorelai and Rory in , but instead of the Gilmores' close bond, Morgan and Clara's relationship becomes more strained the older Clara gets — especially when Morgan's husband Chris (Scott Eastwood) passes away in a tragic accident, revealing a secret that could change Clara's life forever.
While is a production from Sony, Regretting You will be a Paramount Pictures flick. The cast is incredible and honestly, I'll always know Scott Eastwood as the guy from Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" music video.
Where can I watch Regretting You?
Regretting You comes out on October 24, and it's easily one of our most-anticipated movies for 2025!
Who's in the Regretting You cast?
Regretting You will be directed by The Fault in Our Stars' Josh Boone and written by Susan McMartin, and the cast list is amazing! Here's the breakdown:
Allison Williams as Morgan
McKenna Grace as Clara
Dave Franco as Jonah
Mason Thames as Miller
Willa Fitzgerald as Jenny
Scott Eastwood as Chris
Sam Morelos
Clancy Brown
Ethan Samuel Costanilla
Who are the Regretting You characters?
Regretting You has some pretty memorable characters:
Morgan Grant: Clara's mother who wants to keep Clara from making the same mistakes she did.
Clara Grant: Morgan's daughter who longs for independence.
Chris Grant: Morgan's husband and Clara's dad, who's involved in an accident that changes everything.
Miller Adams: Clara's friend...who she's technically not allowed to see.
Jonah Sullivan: an unexpected and comforting presence for Morgan.
Jenny Davidson: Morgan's sister
Lexie: Clara's BFF
Is Regretting You a spicy book?
Regretting You definitely has less spice than Colleen Hoover's other books. In fact, this TikToker ranks it as her least-spicy book! Since the story focuses on Morgan and Clara, instead of a romantic relationship, this is a good pick for any readers who prefer less spicy books.
But don't worry, romance fans. The movie will definitely still have plenty of tension and chemistry. I mean just look at these photos!
What's the message of Regretting You?
Regretting You is all about life, which I know sounds like a huge message! But the story introduces us to an established family rather than two people who want to begin a family. Chris, Morgan, and Clara already have relationships with each other, and as time passes in the story, Regretting You shows us how circumstances can change, how overwhelming our emotions can feel, and how strong our family bonds can become. And there are plenty of romantic moments too.
What are the trigger warnings for Regretting You?
Regretting You sees its character grapple with the reality of grief — over loss, broken relationships, and more. (There are some steamy scenes too, obviously).
But the cast still had a good time on set, in thanks to Allison Williams. "I cannot resist the urge to punctuate these scenes with improv that can never end up in the movie because it's a PG-13 movie and I swear like a sailor," she tells EW. "But given that my only formal training is improv comedy, it's just sort of the crutch I rely on every once in a while, and when a scene has just kind of reached its end and we're all just standing there, I can't help myself."
"One of the things that I like to do in my films, and [Regretting You director] Josh Boone likes to do also, is that it's just like real life where you have drama, but also there's comedy," producer Brunson Green adds. "There's laughs, right? When something bad happens, five seconds later, something funny in life happens. And I think that Josh has done such a great job of finding that balance."
But there is still plenty of drama (and secrets) to be had with these characters, and a lot that's said without speaking a word. "I think that's always the hope in a scene, that there's a ton of stuff going on that's not being said, that you're just living and experiencing and hopefully revealing to the audience," Willa Fitzgerald says.

Neighborhoods near Golden Gate Park seeing increased parking enforcement

Dead and Company brought tens of thousands of people to Golden Gate Park this past weekend, and even more are expected for the Outside Lands Festival. Residents of the area are dealing with extra traffic, road closures, and lots of crowds, but Oberen Ferguson said for the most part, he enjoys it. "If you go up in the attic, you can open the window and you can just hear everything," said Ferguson. "It's like getting a free seat. I remember last year Kendrick Lamar was here and you can sing along to all the words." Ferguson lives just across the street from the park, close enough that he deals with people constantly looking for parking during the events. On Sunday, someone blocked their home. "It was in front of the driveway," said Ferguson, pointing to the area where the person parked. "People just trying to get parking as close as they can." It left his family unable to get their car back into their garage when they got home. "We had to get it towed," Ferguson admits. "So that was pretty frustrating. And they came back at midnight to ask where there car went and then we had to explain that was a little awkward but it got figured out and hopefully they got their car back." Colleen Phan-Eversman parks her car in her garage. She's noticed some people selling their driveways as parking spots but decided against it. "It crossed our mind, but we haven't just because we like the flexibility if we do need to get in the car and go," said Phan-Eversman. She also saw extra parking enforcement during the festivals. "We have noticed more ticket maids around, so I'm sure there are people feeling desperate to find parking," Phan-Eversman explained. And it's not just the parking that's an issue, it's driving too. "It's hard," said Julia Sterling, a 22-year resident of the neighborhood. "Especially with the Great Highway closed, which has already really impacted driving here. My daughter takes a bus to schoo,l and it's just not functioning." Now with more concerts added to the schedule this year, Sterling is a little frustrated. "It just feels like three weekends," said Sterling, questioning how long the park and their neighborhood has to deal with the influx of people and closures. "Plus, Hardly Strictly? Like this area, we've gone through a lot of change throughout the years. We were just under the radar and kind of chill for a long time, and now it's really changing." But Ferguson said he's trying to look on the bright side, while still acknowledging it's not always ideal, especially late at night. "The only annoying thing is people coming out and being loud at night," said Ferguson. "But the music is good."

NYT ‘Connections' Hints For Wednesday, August 6: Today's Clues And Answers

Each day's game of NYT Connections goes live at midnight local time. Before we get to today's Connections hints and answers, here are Tuesday's: It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: it's time for another round of Connections! Earlier this week, a reader got in touch about one of my Connections hints. For clarity (spoilers if you haven't played Monday's game!), it was about my use of 'seer' as another example of a word that sounds like two letters. I agreed that it wasn't a great example. It referred to 'CR,' but that's hardly the most common way to pronounce the letter 'R.' I then swapped out 'seer' for "effects" (or FX). That's unquestionably clearer and more helpful. I'm human. I make mistakes. It's impossible for me to get everything right all the time. But I do want this to be the very best resource for Connections hints and answers that's out there. So, I deeply appreciate any and all feedback. Email and (especially) Discord are the best ways to get in touch with me quickly these days. If any hints seem weird or unhelpful, or you have any other feedback to share with me, please do! Speaking of which, we have a great little community on Discord, where we chat about NYT Connections, the rest of the NYT games and all kinds of other stuff. Everyone who has joined has been lovely. It's a fun hangout spot, and you're more than welcome to hang out with us. In addition, you can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes. Today's NYT Connections hints and answers for Wednesday, August 6 are coming right up. How To Play Connections Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT's website or Games app. You're presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There's only one solution for each puzzle, and you'll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you're incorrect, you'll lose a life. If you're close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you're one word away from getting it right, but you'll still need to figure out which one to swap. If you make four mistakes, it's game over. Let's make sure that doesn't happen with the help of some hints, and, if you're really struggling, today's Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication's Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed. Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find our hints Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query. What Are Today's Connections Hints? Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today's Connections groups, I'll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them. Today's 16 words are... And the hints for today's Connections groups are: One Word For Each Connections Group Need some extra help? Be warned: we're starting to get into spoiler territory.

Spoiler alert! Don't scroll any further down the page until you're ready to find out today's Connections answers. This is your final warning! Today's Connections answers are... I was very surprised that the boxing punches were the blues. I thought those were exceedingly obvious, and I don't even like boxing. Not complaining, though! The yellows were also pretty easy for me to spot and those were up next. NEEDLE and RIB then made the greens clear enough, despite the potential trap of SHAMMY and RAG. The purple didn't click for me right away, but it only took a few seconds to realize they all started with "s." Once I mentally removed those, the connection became apparent. Not too tough of a game today. Here's hoping for a bigger challenge tomorrow, even if it might put my current streak of 159 wins at risk. Here's my grid for today: 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 That's all there is to it for today's Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog tomorrow for hints and the solution for Thursday's game if you need them. P.S. I think Ren is an incredible artist, a true modern troubadour. So I'm absolutely delighted that he's releasing new music again. His latest is 'Vincent's Tale - Self Portrait.' It'll help if you've watched the video for 'The Tale of Jenny and Screech' first, as that ties into this one. But as a standalone piece of (admittedly sweary) art, this is still tremendous. Great storytelling, sublime musicianship and a video that beautifully harmonizes with the music. Once again, welcome back, Ren: Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Be kind to yourself and each other! Call someone you love! Please follow my blog for more coverage of NYT Connections and other word games, and even some video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Sharing this column with other people who play Connections would be appreciated too. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes.

The expansive collection introduces New Era's evolved functional fandom approach to designing caps built "for all weather, not fair weather." This latest national campaign follows the announcement of New Era's expanded partnership with Allen, which granted an investment stake in the company and an appointment as "Director of Billustration." The commercial showcases the versatility of this year's NFL Sidelines Collection as well as the durability of individual caps designed to withstand the elements. The collection is made for the athletes who leave it all on the field and for fans who stand alongside their team, no matter the conditions. "I was ready to dive into this campaign and bring this collection to life, capturing what players and fans experience on gameday," said Allen. "Adapting to weather conditions on the field is critical for performance, and it's just as important that our gear adapts with us. Across the NFL, fans pack the stands and give everything they've got, regardless of the weather. This campaign celebrates the special connection we have with our fans — a bond that can't be rattled by triple-digit heat or feet of snow."

The warm-weather styles are crafted in lightweight, water-repellent materials with breathable mesh detailing and feature a premium quick-dry cushioned sweatband to help keep players and fans cool. The cold-weather silhouettes also feature a premium quick-dry cushion and are made from water-repellent materials, but are crafted with heavier, more insulated materials, like wool, yarn, and fleece. Each cap prominently features the team's logo, encased in a silicone patch, allowing the wearer to showcase the pride they have in their team. Campaign Captures Functional Fandom New Era created a spot that pushes creative boundaries, delivering something that is visually impactful and true to the brand.
