Verity opens in theatres worldwide on October 2, 2026. The Colleen Hoover adaptation stars Dakota Johnson, Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett. Amazon's updated release guide confirms the cinema opening without announcing a subscription-streaming date [1].
The premise, without the plot turns
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer who takes a ghostwriting assignment at the home of injured novelist Verity Crawford. The work becomes more complicated when Lowen discovers material that raises disturbing questions about the household. That is the setup; the official description does not settle which account of events to trust [1].
Amazon describes the film as a psychological thriller built around uncertainty, attraction and manipulation. If you want to preserve its mystery, the premise and central roles below provide enough orientation to decide whether the subject interests you. Detailed reviews and trailer discussions may reveal more than this guide [1].
Three names to know before the film
Dakota Johnson plays Lowen, the visiting writer. Anne Hathaway plays Verity, the established author whose work Lowen is hired to complete. Josh Hartnett plays Jeremy, Verity's husband. Michael Showalter directs the adaptation of Hoover's novel [1].
Cinema release and watching at home
The confirmed immediate viewing option is a theatrical screening. Amazon's guide was originally published April 27 and updated October 2 for the worldwide opening. Check a local cinema for an actual session; the studio's worldwide announcement does not list every venue or showtime [1].
That guide does not announce when Verity will join a subscription-streaming catalogue. Its discussion of Prime Video and other adaptations is not a streaming-release notice for this film. If you prefer watching at home, wait for a title-specific availability announcement rather than treating the theatrical date as a streaming date [1].
