Everything to Know About Blake Lively's Upcoming Movie 'It Ends With Us'

#BookTok fans rejoiced when news broke that Colleen Hoover's novel, It Ends With Us, would be made into a movie, and ever since, the internet has been buzzing with excitement. With each new headline that comes from the set, from Blake Lively being cast to her kooky outfits and polarizing dark hair color, fans can't hold back their opinions—and they only seem to be getting louder as the movie's release date inches closer. 

Here's everything to know about the movie, from when you need to mark your calendar to who's playing who in one of the most anticipated films of 2024.

'It Ends With Us' Trailer

The official trailer for the movie was finally released on May 16, 2024 and it's set to none other than Blake's bestie Taylor Swift's song "My Tears Ricochet." 

'It Ends With Us' Plot

If the movie follows the novel — and for now, it's safe to assume that it does — the plot should follow Lily Bloom, who falls for a neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid. The two get married, but things start to shift between the two when Bloom's high school love, Atlas Corrigan, enters the picture. 

"Though coming from a complicated past, Lily Bloom has always known the life she wants," the film's official synopsis reads. "While living in Boston, she meets neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid and believes she may very well have found her soul mate. Soon, however, questions arise about their relationship, and to complicate matters, her high school love interest, Atlas Corrigan, comes back into the picture, putting her relationship with Ryle in jeopardy."

'It Ends With Us' Cast

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni star as the film's leads, Lily Bloom and Ryle Kincaid. Fans will remember Baldoni from the CW's Jane the Virgin. He's not only acting in It Ends With Us, he's directing the film, as well. 

“Our Lily is going to be played by Blake Lively. Blake Lively, y’all. She’s my dream Lily,” Hoover wrote on Instagram in 2023 after Deadline broke the news of Lively's casting. “When I first met Justin Baldoni, who is directing the film for It Ends With Us, I immediately wanted him to be Ryle.”

Other members of the cast include Brandon Sklenar, who plays Atlas Corrigan, Jenny Slate, and Hasan Minhaj.
