Colleen Hoover’s Divisive Adaptation Is Officially Surging on Streaming

Published

on

What an impressive year it has already been for Anne Hathaway. After starring in the early-year hidden gem Mother Mary from A24, Hathaway teamed back up with Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt in the legacy sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2. Called “a near-perfect blend of nostalgia and newness” in Taylor Gates‘ review for Collider, the movie earned just shy of $700 million at the box office, becoming one of the year’s biggest financial triumphs at the time.

But that was no match for Hathaway’s next theatrical arrival, as she arguably stole the show as Penelope in Christopher Nolan‘s historical epic The Odyssey. Alongside Matt Damon, who headlines as the King of Ithaca, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, and many more, Hathaway helps craft one of the most impressive blockbusters of the decade, one that has now become Nolan’s biggest movie of all time, sailing past both The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. This weekend, Hathaway stars alongside Ewan McGregor in the dino-sized sci-fi thriller The End of Oak Street, formerly known as Flowervale Street.

Later this year, Hathaway joins forces with Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Cordóva, and Brady Wagner to help bring to the screen the latest in a quick string of Colleen Hoover adaptations. Based on the acclaimed author’s 2018 bestseller of the same name, Verity is set to be the darkest and most twisted of her adaptations yet, certainly if the brand-new trailer is anything to go by. Verity will also mark a reunion between Hathaway and director Michael Showalter, who previously worked with her on Prime Video’s The Idea of You.

Your Assignment Has Been Made
You Belong In…

Your answers have pointed to one fictional hospital above all others. This is the ward your instincts, your temperament, and your particular brand of dysfunction were built for.

Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center

The Pitt

You are built for the most unsparing version of emergency medicine television has ever shown — one that puts you inside a single fifteen-hour shift and doesn’t let you look away.

Advertisement
  • You need your work to be real, not romanticised — meaning over drama, honesty over aesthetics.
  • You find purpose inside the work itself, not in the chaos surrounding it.
  • You’ve made peace with the fact that this job takes from you constantly, and gives back in ways that are harder to name.
  • Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center demands exactly that kind of person — and you would not want to be anywhere else.


County General Hospital, Chicago

ER

You are the person who keeps the whole floor running — not the most brilliant in the room, but possibly the most essential.

Advertisement
  • You show up, do the work, absorb the losses, and come back the next day without needing the job to be anything other than what it is.
  • You care about patients as individual human beings, not as cases to solve or dramas to live through.
  • You believe in the system even when it fails you — and you understand that emergency medicine is about holding the line just long enough.
  • ER is television about endurance. You have it.


Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Seattle

Grey’s Anatomy

You came to medicine with your whole self — your ambition, your emotions, your relationships, your history — and you have never quite managed to leave any of it at the door.

Advertisement
  • You feel things fully and form deep attachments to the people you work with.
  • Your personal and professional lives are permanently, chaotically entangled — and that entanglement drives both your greatest disasters and your most remarkable saves.
  • You understand that extraordinary medicine often happens at the intersection of clinical skill and profound human connection.
  • It’s messy at Grey Sloan. You would not have it any other way.


Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, NJ

House

You are drawn to the problem above everything else — the symptom that doesn’t fit, the diagnosis hiding underneath the obvious one.

Advertisement
  • You’re not primarily motivated by the patient as a person — though you are capable of caring, even if you’d deny it.
  • You work best when the stakes are highest and the standard answer is wrong.
  • Princeton-Plainsboro exists to house one extraordinary, impossible mind — and everyone around that mind is there because they’re smart enough to keep up.
  • The only way forward here is to think harder than everyone else in the room. That is exactly what you do.


Sacred Heart Hospital, California

Scrubs

You understand that medicine is tragic and absurd in almost equal measure — and that the only sane response is to hold both of those things at the same time.

Advertisement
  • You are warm, self-aware, and funnier than most people in your field.
  • You use humour to get through terrible moments — and at Sacred Heart, that’s not a flaw, it’s a survival strategy.
  • You lean on the people around you and let them lean back. The laughter and the grief are genuinely inseparable here.
  • Scrubs is a show about learning to become someone worthy of the job. You are still very much in the middle of that process — which is exactly right.

Another Colleen Hoover Adaptation Is a Streaming Sensation

Ahead of Verity, the promise of more Hoover at the movies has inspired fans to head back to a lesser-spotted adaptation to get in the mood. At the time of writing, 2026’s Reminders of Him is one of the ten most-streamed movies on Peacock in the U.S. Described as a story of “motherhood, forgiveness, and the power of love to heal,” director Vanessa Caswill‘s indulgent drama was headlined by Longlegs and It Follows star Maika Monroe, alongside Tyriq Withers, Gilmore Girls icon Lauren Graham, Bradley Whitford, and country singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson in her feature film debut.

Reminders of Him is streaming now. Stay tuned to Collider for more stories.
