Universal has confirmed the PVOD release date for their romantic drama REMINDERS OF HIM, which will arrive on VOD and digital platforms on April 14th, 2026. Additionally the studio has set a launch date for the film’s Blu-ray and DVD, which will hit retail on May 19th, 2026.
Reminders of Him is directed by Vanessa Caswill from a screenplay by Colleen Hoover and Lauren Levine, based on the 2022 novel by Hoover. It stars Maika Monroe, Tyriq Withers, Rudy Pankow, Lainey Wilson (in her film debut), Nicholas Duvernay, Lauren Graham, and Bradley Whitford.
In the film, when Diem’s custodial grandparents adamantly refuse Kenna’s attempts to see her daughter, Kenna discovers unexpected compassion, and then something truer and deeper, with former NFL player and local bar owner Ledger. As their secret romance develops, so do the dangers for both of them, leading Kenna toward heartbreak and, ultimately, the hope for a second chance.
