McKenna Grace is set to co-star opposite Allison Williams in Regretting You, an indie adaptation of the 2019 novel from It Ends with Us scribe Colleen Hoover, Deadline has confirmed. The news comes amid the theatrical release of Sony’s It Ends With Us adaptation, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, which is expected to be a big hit, opening in the mid $40 million-range.
Written by Susan McMartin, with Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) aboard to direct, Regretting You centers on the complex relationship between Morgan Grant (Williams) and her daughter, Clara. Morgan became a mother at a young age, putting her own dreams on hold to raise Clara. As Clara grows into a teenager, their relationship becomes strained, especially after a tragic accident claims the life of Chris, Morgan’s husband and Clara’s father.
The project hails from Constantin Film, whose Robert Kulzer is set to produce, along with Brunson Green and Anna Todd.
