Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy to lead Amazon MGM’s ‘You Deserve Each Other’ rom-com adaptation

Amazon MGM Studios is bringing a fresh romantic comedy to the screen with Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy starring in You Deserve Each Other, an adaptation of Sarah Hogle’s bestselling novel.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project will be directed by Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn, the creative minds behind Never Been Kissed and He’s Just Not That Into You, who also revised the original screenplay.

The story follows Naomi and Nick, a couple who appear to be on the verge of a perfect wedding. However, they have secretly fallen out of love and each begins plotting ways to get the other to call it off. As their comedic sabotage unfolds, the narrative evolves from lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers, reigniting their feelings just in time.

The book, released in 2020 by Penguin’s G.P. Putnam’s Sons, received multiple accolades, including nominations for Goodreads Choice Awards and recognition as an Amazon Editors’ Pick. The film is being produced by Fifth Season and Likely Story.

Badgley, best known for his roles in Gossip Girl and You, brings his signature edge to the rom-com genre. Fahy, who earned acclaim in The White Lotus, adds momentum with her growing list of high-profile projects.

Production details and a release date for You Deserve Each Other will be announced by Amazon MGM in due course.
