Ali Hazelwood’s “The Love Hypothesis” Streams on Prime Video September 23

Romance fans have something exciting to look forward to this September. The Love Hypothesis, the screen adaptation of Ali Hazelwood’s New York Times best-selling novel, is set to stream globally on Prime Video beginning September 23.

Starring Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman, the film brings one of contemporary romance fiction’s most popular fake-dating stories to life, complete with awkward chemistry, academic pressure, and feelings that quickly become impossible to ignore.

A Fake Relationship Starts With One Unexpected Kiss

At the center of the story is Olive, played by Reinhart, a brilliant Ph.D. candidate determined to stay focused on her future in academia.

Her plans take an unexpected turn when she realizes that her best friend Ahn, portrayed by Rachel Marsh, has feelings for Olive’s crush Jeremy, played by Nicholas Duvernay.

Hoping to convince Ahn that she has already moved on, Olive acts on impulse and kisses Adam Carlsen, an intimidating professor played by Bateman.

It is a split-second decision that creates a much bigger problem.

Soon, Olive and Adam find themselves entering a fake relationship built on carefully agreed rules, clear boundaries, and a setup that appears useful for both of them.

At least, that is the plan.

When Pretending Starts to Feel Real

What begins as a convenient arrangement gradually becomes more complicated as Olive and Adam spend more time together.

Their fake relationship may have started with practical intentions, but the emotions that follow are anything but simple.

As the difference between acting and genuine attraction begins to fade, Olive is forced to reconsider everything she thought she understood about relationships.

For someone used to testing theories and looking for clear answers, love becomes the one hypothesis that cannot be easily controlled.

Warm, witty, and filled with romantic tension, The Love Hypothesis explores what happens when two people agree to pretend until the feelings are no longer pretend at all.

From Bestselling Novel to Prime Video

Written by Ali Hazelwood, The Love Hypothesis became a breakout favorite among romance readers for its mix of academia, humor, and slow-building chemistry.

The film adaptation brings that world to a wider audience, pairing Reinhart and Bateman as Olive and Adam while introducing viewers to the relationships and complications surrounding them.

Joining the lead cast are Rachel Marsh, Nicholas Duvernay, Jaboukie Young-White, and Arty Froushan.

Prime Video Reveals First Look Images For Highly Anticipated New Series ‘Carrie’

Today, Prime Video released first look images from the upcoming new Original series, Carrie. Based on Stephen King’s iconic debut novel, Carrie is a bold, timely, and surprising reinvention of this classic coming‑of‑age story, adapted for television for the first time by visionary showrunner Mike Flanagan. Carrie will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide this Fall.

Misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Summer Howell) has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.

Told over eight propulsive episodes, the series expands King’s cultural landmark — deepening its characters and tensions, and following the small, everyday choices that build toward a single, shattering night, in a gripping, deeply human story about kindness versus cruelty, and whether we’re witnessing the making of a hero, a monster, or something far more complicated.

As previously announced, Carrie stars Summer Howell as Carrie White, cast in the legendary titular role following an extensive search that saw more than 1,000 actors read. The ensemble of series regulars also includes Samantha Sloyan (The Pitt) as Margaret White, Siena Agudong (Resident Evil) as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton (Fire Country) as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette (My Life with the Walter Boys) as Tommy Ross, Josie Tota (The Buccaneers) as Tina, Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) as Billy, Thalia Dudek (The Running Man) as Emaline, Amber Midthunder (Prey) as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard (Man of Tomorrow) as Principal Grayle.

Carrie is written and executive produced by showrunner Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House) with Flanagan also directing four episodes. Stephen King also serves as executive producer. The series is an Amazon MGM Studios production.

Stephen King’s debut novel Carrie was published in 1974, launching a career in which his books have sold more than 350 million copies worldwide. The novel spent 14 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list and has been translated into more than 35 languages. Brian De Palma’s 1976 film adaptation, an Academy Award–nominated feature, cemented the story’s cultural impact; this year marks the film’s 50th anniversary.

PRIME VIDEO STREAMING REVIEW: ‘Spider-Noir’ with Nicolas Cage Marries Two Polar Opposite Genres and Comes Out with Something New and Exciting

A spin-off series from the massively successful Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Spider-Noir character is actually quite an inventive and refreshing move from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios. By turning it into a live-action series set in an alternate universe of 1930s Depression-era New York, showrunner Oren Uziel manages to juggle the tonal issues of presenting a superhero show in the noir genre – or is it a noir show with superhuman characters? Finding the productive tension between these two storytelling modes creates an entertaining spectacle, with Nicolas Cage at the center grounding it altogether.

The show follows Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage) several years after his exploits as the superhero The Spider. Following tragic events involving the loss of someone very close to him, Reilly has given up his superhero activities and resumed his life as a struggling private detective. Without The Spider, New York is overrun by crime, with the mob boss Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson) at the top of the underworld food chain. However, a new case involving other individuals with superpowers leads Reilly right into Silvermane’s crosshairs. Over the first three episodes, the show pushes Reilly to question his decision and wonder whether he should take on the mantle of The Spider once again.

Screenshot

Consisting of eight episodes, I’ve only seen the first three, and most of these episodes are filled with intricate world-building. These early episodes allow us to get into the show’s tone and genre, smoothly easing us into its marriage of noir with that of the comic book superhero genre. Reilly is not alone in this world. He has a friend who knows about his dual life, the journalist Robbie Robertson (Lamorne Morris), and his a crafty, competent secretary Janet (Karen Rodriguez).

Prime Video’s Spider-Noir

The world, straight out of the noir genre, is a bleak, broken society hidden underneath the glitz and glamour of New York’s upper class, who make it the clientele of Reilly and the cause of all the misery. It’s underhanded and dirty, but only as much as it can be in a show that styles itself like an old Humphrey Bogart film and a family-friendly superhero adventure. The extraordinary comes in brief spurts but with huge impact across these first three episodes, showing great restraint and preventing one side from overpowering the other. Uziel is doing a great job of balancing Spider-Noir’s dual personalities without dismantling the show’s overall feel of it.

The existential dread that is evident in many noir films is front and center here. Reilly is a man who has been beaten by life, and he is deeply in opposition of going head on back into the realm of the superhero. This dilemma feels so current and relatable, posing the question of whether it matters to be good in a world that is so infested by people breaking the law; especially when those people seem to be winning at life. The exhaustion and frustration hang heavy in the first three episodes – yet the show still manages to be light and entertaining – making the entire experience feel refreshing and new.

And this is handled magnificently by Nicolas Cage, who seems to straddle the show’s multi-faceted personalities. He knows exactly how to embody this character and how to fit it into the new tonal frequency of the show. Everyone seems to take their cues from him, and the world just feels like it’s right. The other standout is Li Jun Li as Cat Hardy, a night club singer who has ties to Silvermane and becomes one of Ben Reilly’s clients when she asks him to find her missing bodyguard, a man who also has superpowers. Li and Cage’s characters are always engaged in a verbal joust, dropping sentences and phrases that mean multiple things but delivered in a way that echoes the films of the ’30s and ’40s. It’s snappy, loaded, and highly enjoyable to watch.

Spider-Noir is truly different and refreshing, and I can’t wait to see how it plays out. The show is offered in two variants – “Authentic Black & White” and “True Hue,” (a colored version that is highly oversaturated to resemble a comic book from that era) – and the viewer can watch the series in either format. Personally, I prefer the black and white version, as it feels far more true to the classic traditions of the noir genre.

My Rating: 4 Stars

Ready to step into the shadows of 1930s New York? Spider-Noir proves that there is still plenty of invention left in the superhero genre when placed in the right hands, reminding us that sometimes, with no power comes no responsibility. Catch the premiere on May 27 on Prime Video in True-Hue Full Color and Authentic Black & White. See Nicolas Cage at his absolute best!
