Verity Film Release Delayed to October 2026

The film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's thriller 'Verity,' starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, has been delayed from May 15, 2026, to October 2, 2026. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and directed by Michael Showalter, the story follows struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson), who is hired to complete a book series after a mysterious accident leaves its original author, Verity Crawford (Hathaway), incapacitated. As Lowen works on the project, she uncovers dark family secrets. The new release date positions 'Verity' to compete with an untitled Tom Cruise film directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. The adaptation follows the successful 2024 release of Hoover's 'It Ends With Us.' A trailer for 'Verity' was shown at CinemaCon in April 2025 but has not been released online.
