“The universe is built on trying to find order through connection.” Amazon MGM Studio has revealed their first look teaser trailer for an amusing new romantic comedy movie arriving at the end of the summer – for streaming only on Prime Video. The Love Hypothesis is adapted from the book of the same name written by Ali Hazelwood, with another one of these “aw isn’t that adorable” concepts. After an impulsive kiss, two scientists end up in a fake relationship, testing their theories about love and each other. Lili Reinhart stars as Olive, a brilliant PhD candidate focused on her future in academia. But when she realizes her best friend Ahn has fallen for her crush Jeremy, Olive impulsively kisses the intimidating professor Adam to prove she’s moved on and they end up running with it. She must then test her most daunting hypothesis yet: that love might actually be worth the risk. With Reinhart, this co-stars Tom Bateman, Rachel Marsh, Nicholas Duvernay, Jaboukie Young-White, and Arty Froushan. This cute teaser plays like a science education video you’d watch in school – which is kind of fun, but I still want to see more real footage from this anyway.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Claire Scanlon’s movie The Love Hypothesis, direct from YouTube:
Based on the novel, 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 her 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 is a romantic comedy directed by American TV director / filmmaker Claire Scanlon, director of the films Set It Up and People We Hate at the Wedding previously, plus tons of TV episodes including on the series “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, “Fresh Off the Boat”, “Glow”, “Rutherford Falls”, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”, “Acapulco”, “Unstable”, and many others. The screenplay is written by Sarah Rothschild. Adapted from the novel of the same name from Ali Hazelwood. Produced by Elizabeth Cantillon, Jonathan Golfman. Amazon MGM Studios debuts Scanlon’s The Love Hypothesis movie streaming on Prime Video directly starting September 23rd, 2026 coming up soon. Is anyone interested?
