‘The Love Hypothesis’ Will get September Launch Date, Drops First-Look Pictures

Prime Video will proceed its romance streak into the autumn, asserting Thursday that the upcoming function adaptation of Ali Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis could have a fall launch on the platform.

The function movie, set to launch on the streamer Sept. 23, stars Lili Reinhart as Olive Smith, a stressed-out graduate scholar, and Tom Bateman as Dr. Adam Carlsen, a grouchy younger professor. The story follows the age-old romantic-comedy trope of pretend courting.

First look images had been launched of Reinhart and Bateman had been launched Thursday. A video dropped on social media Thursday morning exhibiting Reinhart grabbing a sugary espresso deal with, a nod to her character Olive who usually orders caffeinated concoctions on her on campus “dates” with Bateman’s Adam.

Reinhart takes a sip from the espresso cup earlier than asking the barista, “Can I actually get sprinkles on this?” The cup reads “9.23” to reference the discharge date.

“The Love Hypothesis follows Olive (Reinhart), a brilliant Ph.D. candidate focused on her future in academia,” the movie’s synopsis reads. “But when she realizes her best friend Ahn (Rachel Marsh) has fallen for her crush Jeremy (Nicholas Duvernay), Olive impulsively kisses intimidating professor Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman) to prove she’s moved on.”

The synopsis continues, “What begins as a desperate act of friendship spirals into a fake relationship with rules, boundaries and a mutually beneficial agreement. When their arrangement begins to blur the lines between performance and reality, Olive is forced to test her most daunting hypothesis yet: that love might actually be worth the risk.”

Jaboukie Younger-White and Arty Froushan be a part of Reinhart, Bateman, Marsh and Duvernay in rounding out the movie’s solid. Claire Scanlon serves as director on the movie, which incorporates a script written by Sarah Rothschild.

The Love Speculation is slated to be highlighted throughout Prime Video’s immersive fan occasion, Obsessed Fest, later this month.
