Reylo fans, you guys truly never lose. The Love Hypothesis, a new romantic comedy movie based on a book that was originally a Rey and Kylo Ren fanfiction, is coming to streaming on Amazon Prime Video tomorrow.

The Love Hypothesis movie is based on the 2021 romance novel of the same name, written by Ali Hazelwood, and originally published as a Star Wars fanfiction in 2018. The movie was adapted by screenwriter Sarah Rothschild, and directed by Claire Scanlon (The People We Hate at the Wedding). Lili Reinhart stars as Olive Smith, a PhD student studying at Stanford University who finds herself in a fake dating situation-ship with the “evil” professor at the university, Dr. Adam Caslsen (played by British actor Tom Bateman).

Also starring Rachel Marsh, Jaboukie Young-White, Nicholas Duvernay, and Arty Froushan, The Love Hypothesis is sure to scratch that trope-y romance itch that fanfiction readers love. We know you can’t wait to watch it, so read on to find out what time The Love Hypothesis movie comes out on Amazon Prime Video.
