Since September 23, The Love Hypothesis, a romantic comedy starring Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman, has been available on Prime Video. The film is based on Ali Hazelwood’s bestselling novel of the same name. It follows Olive, a doctoral student in physics, who starts a fake relationship with Adam Carlsen, a wealthy tech entrepreneur, to help her best friend. The story explores themes of love, career, and personal growth, blending humor with the challenges of academic life. According to reports, two other novels by Hazelwood are currently being adapted for film. Love, Theoretically, published in 2023, is another of Hazelwood’s books that is in development. This novel follows Elsie Hannaway, a physicist who leads a double life as a part-time professor and a paid girlfriend. Her aspirations to become a tenured researcher are complicated by Jack Smith-Turner, a physicist on the hiring committee for a position at MIT, who is also the brother of one of her clients. Amazon MGM Studios has enlisted Sofia Alvarez to write and direct the film, with Colleen Hoover set to produce through her company, Heartbones Entertainment, alongside Max Siemers and Tanner Anderson for Magic Hour Entertainment. No actors or release date have been announced for this project. Separately, Netflix is adapting Deep End, a novel published in 2025, which follows Scarlett Vandermeer, a Stanford student and high-level diver recovering from an injury while preparing for medical school. Lukas, captain of the swimming team, shares a secret and a biology table with Scarlett. As the Olympics approach, their respective ambitions and developing feelings are tested. The film will be produced by Shawn Levy and Dan Levine through 21 Laps, with Alex Cooper and Matt Kaplan for Unwell Productions. Ali Hazelwood will serve as an executive producer alongside Matthew Janzen. It has been reported that Netflix secured the rights to Deep End before its official publication, indicating strong interest in the story. Notably, Olive and Adam, the protagonists of The Love Hypothesis, also appear in Deep End, though it remains unclear if they will be included in the Netflix adaptation. This suggests that the two books are part of a larger universe, potentially allowing for interconnected storytelling in future adaptations. However, details about how the characters will be integrated—or if they will appear at all—remain uncertain.
