Have tissues ready. Reminders of Him, the film version of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, starts streaming on Netflix in the U.S. today, November 10. It reached theaters in March and has been on Peacock since July.
What it’s about
Maika Monroe, best known for horror films like It Follows and Longlegs, plays Kenna Rowan. A tragic mistake sent her to prison, and now she’s back in her Wyoming hometown hoping to meet Diem, the young daughter she has never known. Diem’s grandparents, played by Lauren Graham and Bradley Whitford, want her nowhere near the girl. Help comes from someone Kenna didn’t expect: Ledger Ward (Tyriq Withers), a former NFL player who now runs the local bar. Their bond turns into a secret romance, and keeping it secret gets harder for both of them.
Rudy Pankow and country star Lainey Wilson round out the cast. Vanessa Caswill (Love at First Sight) directed from a script that Hoover co-wrote with Lauren Levine.
Why it’s coming to Netflix now
The move follows Universal’s streaming pattern. Its live-action films stream on Peacock first for four months, then go to Netflix for an exclusive ten-month window. If the schedule holds, U.S. viewers have until roughly September 2027 to catch it on Netflix. Some regions, including Australia and New Zealand, already had it.
Worth a watch?
Critics were split, but audiences were much warmer, which is typical for Hoover adaptations. Fans of the book say the film stays close to its emotional beats, likely because Hoover co-wrote the script. It runs 1 hour 54 minutes and is rated PG-13. It’s a cozy, bittersweet pick for a November evening, just don’t expect a light rom-com.
