Maika Monroe’s Reminders of Him Locks In Digital, Blu-ray, and DVD Release Dates — Here’s When You Can Watch

If you’re one of the millions who’ve dogeared (or doomscrolled) Colleen Hoover’s work, you probably saw this adaptation coming from a mile away. Reminders of Him—that’s the one about messy motherhood and deeply awkward redemption, now has a release plan for anyone who missed its theatrical run (or just wants to watch from the couch with snacks, which is how I prefer my therapeutic drama).

Success (and Drama) at the Box Office

First, quick numbers: even though critics couldn’t agree on whether Reminders of Him was a tearjerker masterpiece or a melodrama meltdown, it definitely made its money back—and then some. Universal’s adaptation pulled in over $84 million globally, which is pretty impressive against its $25 million budget. Not a flop, by any stretch.

What’s This Movie Actually About?

For the uninitiated: the main character, Kenna (played by Maika Monroe, who’s rapidly cornering the market on emotionally shredded leads), is a mother trying to reconnect with the daughter she’s never met. There’s the small matter of her criminal past—she caused the kind of tragedy small towns gossip about forever—but the heart of it all is her hidden relationship with Ledger, the local bar owner (Tyriq Withers).

Cue small-town secrets, grief, family showdowns, and a romance that’s… well, complicated by basically every life-altering mistake imaginable. Here’s how the official blurb puts it; honestly, it’s not wrong:

'Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel becomes a transformative film about motherhood, forgiveness, and the power of love to overcome the worst mistake.'

Who’s in It?

There’s a solid slate of familiar faces—folks who could headline their own prestige TV shows, and in some cases, already do:

• Maika Monroe (Longlegs) as Kenna Rowan
• Tyriq Withers (Him, Atlanta) as Ledger Ward
• Rudy Pankow (Outer Banks) as Scotty Landry
• Lainey Wilson (Yellowstone) as Amy Matthews
• Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls) as Grace Landry
• Bradley Whitford (The West Wing) as Patrick Landry
• Jennifer Robertson (Schitt's Creek) as Ruth Clayton

When Can You Watch at Home?

Here’s the important part: Reminders of Him hits digital storefronts on April 14—so if you want to rent or own, you’re good tomorrow. If physical media is your thing (or you’re a completist), Blu-ray and DVD are coming May 19.

Bonus Features: Worth a Look?

Home release comes with a few extras—perfect if you like digging into how these adaptations get made, or enjoy deleted emotional meltdowns:

• Deleted Scenes: Self-explanatory, but always good for drama scalpers.
• The Path to Redemption: Basically a featurette diving into Kenna’s character arc, as well as why anyone lets her near romance again.
• Turning the Page: A behind-the-scenes look at what Hoover brought to the set in her jump to screenwriter (apparently, she’s not just haunting the bestseller list).
• Our Adventure: ‘How we made the thing’—filmmakers talk shop on production.

Who’s Behind the Camera?

Vanessa Caswill directed this one, with Hoover and Lauren Levine co-writing the screenplay. On the production side: Hoover, Levine, and Gina Matthews produced, with Robin Mulcachy Fisichella executive producing. The team includes some TV and film heavyweights: Tim Ives shot it, Michelle Harrison edited, and the rest of the creative crew covered design, costumes, and music (Tome Howe’s the composer, if you’re into soundtrack details).

All told, it’s a slick, star-packed adaptation of a book that was always going to end up on a screen somewhere. If you’re in for a cathartic sob (or you love a redemption arc messier than your group chat), you know where to find it now—without leaving the house.
