Lili Reinhart is heading back to the big screen — and this time, she’s diving into the world of fake dating and unexpected feelings.

The Riverdale star has officially signed on to lead The Love Hypothesis, the film adaptation of Ali Hazelwood’s best-selling romance novel. The fan-favorite book is getting the Hollywood treatment, and fans are already buzzing with excitement.

The story follows a brilliant but socially awkward PhD candidate who finds herself in a bit of a bind: she needs to convince her best friend that her love life is thriving. The solution? Enter a fake relationship with the last person anyone would expect — her grumpy, aloof (but undeniably attractive) professor. What starts out as a staged romance soon turns into something a lot more real, as the pair struggle to keep up the charade… and realize they may not want to anymore.

Lili Reinhart confirmed the news with a post on Instagram, sending fans into a frenzy. Known for her relatable roles and sharp comedic timing, Lili seems like the perfect fit to bring this swoony, slow-burn love story to life.

No word yet on who will star opposite her or when the film will be released, but one thing’s for sure: The Love Hypothesis is about to become your next favorite rom-com.
