Based on Ali Hazelwood’s New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, the film follows two scientists, Ph.D. candidate Olive (Lili Reinhart) and Professor Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman), as they embark on a fake relationship on a mutually beneficial agreement, but as they test their theories about love, they find the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. Check out the trailer below…
The Love Hypothesis follows Olive (Lili Reinhart), a brilliant Ph.D. candidate focused on her future in academia. But when she realizes her best friend Ahn (Rachel Marsh) has fallen for her crush Jeremy (Nicholas Duvernay), Olive impulsively kisses intimidating professor Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman) to prove she’s moved on. What begins as a desperate act of friendship spirals into a fake relationship with rules, boundaries, and a mutually beneficial agreement. When their arrangement begins to blur the lines between performance and reality, Olive is forced to test her most daunting hypothesis yet: that love might actually be worth the risk.
The Love Hypothesis arrives on Prime Video on September 23rd.
