The new romantic comedy film The Love Hypothesis, starring actress Lili Reinhart, has officially premiered on Amazon Prime Video and is available for subscribers to stream globally.
The feature film is a direct screen adaptation of author Ali Hazelwood's bestselling romance novel of the same name, which first gained widespread acclaim upon its release.
The storyline centers on a graduate student named Olive who kisses the first man she sees in an attempt to prove to her friend that she has an active personal life. The stranger turns out to be Professor Adam, who surprisingly agrees to enter into a fake relationship with her. The pair then launch a formal scientific experiment to test their competing theories about love and romance.
Fake relationship plot and main cast
Lili Reinhart leads the cast in the principal role of Olive. The American actress is widely known for her starring role as Betty Cooper in the long running television drama series Riverdale, as well as her performances in feature films including Hustlers and Chemical Hearts.
The film adaptation also stars British actor Tom Bateman, who previously performed in Much Ado About Nothing and Murder on the Orient Express, alongside Nicholas Duvernay, who appeared in the HBO anthology series The White Lotus. The movie includes a wider supporting ensemble of actors.
Production team and source novel
Claire Scanlon directed the romantic comedy. Scanlon is an experienced American television and film director whose previous directing credits include episodes of popular comedy series such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Miracle Workers, as well as the Netflix romantic comedy feature Set It Up.
The original book by Hazelwood was published in 2021 and became a New York Times bestseller, establishing the author's signature style of science-focused contemporary romance novels before being adapted for Amazon's streaming platform. The film is accessible to Prime Video members worldwide as part of the service's streaming library.
