Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You Is Finally Coming to Streaming—Here’s When You Can Watch

Colleen Hoover fans, we are doing this again. After the last Hoover adaptation blew up with audiences, her novel 'Regretting You' is next in line for the big screen. It is a mother-daughter tearjerker with secrets, grief, and second chances baked in — the kind of thing that will have you texting your mom right after the credits.

What it is, who is in it, and when you can see it

'Regretting You' follows Morgan and her teenage daughter Clara as a sudden tragedy knocks their lives off-axis. The story leans hard into the fallout — what gets revealed, who steps up, and how love changes when you are trying to hold a family together. The film stars Allison Williams and Mckenna Grace.

Paramount is handling US distribution, and the movie opens in theaters on October 24, 2025.

Streaming plans (and the timeline that actually makes sense)

There is no official streaming date yet, but because Paramount is distributing, the first stop will almost certainly be Paramount+. Lately, Paramount has been dropping its theatrical titles onto the service about 8 to 10 weeks after opening weekend.

• The Naked Gun: in theaters August 1, 2025, streaming September 30, 2025
• Novocaine: in theaters March 14, 2025, streaming May 13, 2025
• The Smurfs: in theaters July 18, 2025, streaming September 16, 2025
• Regretting You: in theaters October 24, 2025, streaming around December 23, 2025 (expected)

Do the math and an around-December-23 drop makes sense — basically a holiday-at-home release.

But will it be on Netflix?

Nothing is announced. Because it is a Paramount movie, it will stream on Paramount+ first. Could it show up on Netflix later, either in certain regions or after a pay-one window? Sure, that is possible. Just do not expect it there right away. And to clear up a common mix-up: 'It Ends With Us' was a theatrical hit with a studio release, not a Netflix original.

The early reviews are rough (which could speed up streaming)

Before anyone has even bought popcorn, 'Regretting You' is getting dinged by critics. It is sitting at 18% on Rotten Tomatoes from 22 reviews, with a lot of complaints about it leaning too hard on sentiment without balancing the tone. Variety called it a 'bad soap opera,' while Metro said it tries to be weepy and cool at the same time and does not quite land it.

Culture Mix compared the movie to 'an overstuffed Baked Alaska' — pretty on the surface, messy in the middle.

When a movie opens to that kind of reception, studios sometimes cut the theatrical run short and move it to streaming sooner to find an audience at home. If that happens here, do not be shocked if Paramount nudges 'Regretting You' onto Paramount+ in late November 2025 instead of waiting until late December.

Bottom line

In theaters October 24, 2025. Most likely streaming on Paramount+ in late December, maybe late November if the box office is soft. No Netflix plan announced. If you are a Hoover fan or a sucker for a mother-daughter meltdown with heart, you will not have to wait long either way.
