Romance author Emily Henry now has four of five of her most recent novels set to be adapted for the big and small screens. Henry went on a rom-com writing spree that began with Beach Read, which came out in the summer of 2020. She has published a book a year since then, with People We Meet on Vacation coming out in 2021, Book Lovers arriving in 2022, Happy Place released in 2023 and Funny Story hitting shelves this year.
Three of Henry’s books received adaptation optioning deals for films, with two of them attaching directors. Starting in 2022, multiple studios made the decision to adapt various Emily Henry books into movies. The Writers’ and Actors’ strikes likely delayed any moves in casting, but a fourth novel has just been optioned by Jennifer Lopez’s production company for a television series adaptation at Netflix.

Joe Alwyn has broken his silence on the end of his relationship with Taylor Swift, over a year after their breakup.
The actor sat down with The Sunday Times Style Magazine ahead of the release of his upcoming film, Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindness, on June 21. During the conversation, Alwyn spoke candidly about his breakup with the global superstar in April 2023.
While he is the first to address their breakup publicly, Swift’s newest album, The Tortured Poets Department, seemingly addresses it, with songs like “So Long, London” and “The Black Dog.” Not to mention the name of the album itself resembles a WhatsApp group chat Alwyn has with Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal called The Tortured Man Club.

With a repertoire of acclaimed films and shows under her belt, Emily Carey has stepped in the shoes of many characters. She’s played the thrill-seeking Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, portrayed a young Alicent Hightower in the Got spinoff House of the Dragon, and most recently depicted the social pariah but incredibly clever teen, Harriet Manners in Netflix’s Geek Girl.

But what’s special about the latest coming-of-age drama is that it tackles a rather grave subject that we barely get to see on-screen these days.
Emily Carey-Led Geek Girl Confronts An Imperative Matter
The glamorous world of teenagers in many coming-of-age films and series depicts life through a rose-tinted glass, coveted by many but that which exists solely in the realm of fiction. Geek Girl, however, refrains from veiling reality behind a tantalizing facade and instead acknowledges quite an important issue – humans aren’t flawless.

During the process of writing Colin From Accounts, the spiky Australian comedy with a sweet center that launched this year on Paramount+, creator and star Harriet Dyer decided she didn’t want to make a “doggy show,” she recalls. “She didn’t want it to be cutesy,” her co-creator, co-star and husband, Patrick Brammall, added.
She was dissuaded, however, from changing the central premise, in which two lonely people, played by Dyer and Brammall, are drawn together while caring for a disabled dog, whose injury they are both inadvertently responsible for. (The alternate version: replacing the canine with an elderly woman.)
The show starts off as Ashley (Dyer), a medical student, cheekily flashes her boob to microbrewery owner Gordon (Brammall) while she’s crossing the street and he’s behind the wheel of a car. In his distraction, he hits the dog, Colin, who is wandering the streets. They end...

A six-minute music video for Ariana Grande's latest single, "The Boy is Mine," has been released, and it finds the pop megastar channelling iconic Batman baddie/love interest, Catwoman.
The premise of the video focuses on You star Penn Badgley as the mayor of an unnamed city (we're guessing they couldn't call it Gotham), who decides to unleash an army of stray cats to rid the streets of a rat infestation. Grande plays a woman who is obsessed with the mayor and creates a love potion to make him fall for her.
Then, in a scene which appears to pay homage to Michelle Pfeiffer's Selina Kyle creating her costume in Tim Burton's Batman Returns, Grande dons a homemade Catwoman suit of her own and takes to the streets.
The tune is a single from Grande’s newest album, Eternal Eunshine, and samples Brandy and Monica's 1998 hit of the same name.

Netflix is notorious for its perfect teen shows, and we bet you’ve seen at least one of them, probably Sex Education, Ginny & Georgia or Heartstopper. However, such series get even more interesting when they’re adapted from popular novels, with fans of the book ardently comparing the adaptation with their favorite nostalgic YA book.
The new underdog show titled Geek Girl is also based on a novel, and it does full justice to its best-selling original. It is now receiving so much hype that it’s holding the first place in Netflix’s global chart, topping Netflix’s bigger projects, including Bridgerton.
What Is Geek Girl About?
The show’s plot revolves around Harriet, an awkward 16-year-old geek, whose life is complicated by bullying and the feeling of not belonging to society. She struggles a lot to make it through coming of age, luckily, her life is about to be drastically changed.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Geek Girl Season 1.] Geek Girl, based on Holly Smale’s novel of the same name, finds Harriet Manners (Emily Carey) balancing two vastly different worlds. One day, she’s just a teenager in a small town, and the next she’s thrust into the world of high fashion modeling after being discovered on a school trip. Throughout the first season of the Netflix series, Harriet tries to navigate her new life while not forgetting her old one. Toby (Zac Looker) has been a friend of Harriet’s for as long as they can remember. He’s always been a constant in her life. When Harriet is feeling lost and unsure of her future, she turns to her longtime neighbor. In a monumental scene from Episode 9, Harriet asks Toby if he’s ever felt “out of place,” like a “polar bear in a rainforest.” Harriet admits she feels “alone” in the world,...

Brie Larson showed up to the “Lessons in Chemistry” set ready to play — both figuratively and literally. The Oscar-winner brought with her two huge storage bins filled with games she’d haul to every location.
“I started doing it when I was filming ‘The Marvels’ during the pandemic,” Larson reveals. “We were in bubbles and didn’t have the nor- mal situation where the actors could hang out together and bond. So, my bubble would play games to pass the time.”
She then brought the party to the set of the Apple TV+ limited series, which she also executive produced. Based on the bestselling novel by Bonnie Garmus, “Lessons in Chemistry” tells the story of Elizabeth Zott, a brilliant chemist who ends up hosting a 1960s cooking show, which she uses to educate housewives on more than just meal preparation.

What is life like for one of the biggest couturiers in all of England? Well, if you ask Yuji Lee, it’s most likely that she wouldn’t even give you an answer. Sandra Yi Sencindiver plays the enigmatic fashion designer Yuji Lee in Netflix’s latest fashion drama series, Geek Girl. A week before her show, Yuji Lee looks at the model who’s supposed to walk in her wildly anticipated show. The job of finding the right model for it goes to Wilder, and it’s the most important casting of the year. Yuji Lee only puts one condition on the model: the lucky girl should have Yuji’s essence in her. That basically means the girl must have the same aura and mystique about her, just like Yuji and her dresses do.
Spoilers Ahead
Why did Yuji choose Harriet?
Yuji wanted a new face that should be raw and authentic.

On one side, he’s got Poppy, an established supermodel herself who’s head over heels for him. But Nick finds Harriet way more attractive and warm, and he feels like that’s who he should be with. Having to walk on a tightrope, Nick makes all the best possible choices he can, and it’s refreshing to see a man who’s emotionally intelligent and doesn’t let the wrong things take over his identity.
Spoiler Alert
Were Nick and Poppy actually dating?
When Harriet first stalked Nick, all she could find on social media was Nick and Poppy’s cheesy couple posts.

Kate Moss got discovered while she and her father were stuck in an airport courtesy of a delayed flight. A photographer spotted Cindy Crawford in the stands of a local football game. Modern family sensation Sofia Vergara was discovered on a beach. There are countless stories of people getting discovered and their whole lives taking a turn. So Netflix’s latest 10-episode series, Geek Girl, follows a similar premise. Harriet Manners, a 16-year-old introvert who gets bullied by pretty much everybody, gets a chance to change her life when a celebrity scout spots her. The show revolves around Harriet trying to find her feet in the modeling world and coming to terms with who she really is.
Spoilers Ahead
How does Harriet get a modeling gig over Nat?
Harriet is the classic example of a ‘Geek,’ and the show shoves it down your throat by literally showing the meaning of geek in a dictionary.

Who Is Hebe Beardsall from Geek Girl? Harry Potter Actress Stars in New Netflix Teen Drama - Main Image
Who is Hebe Beardsall in Geek Girl on Netflix? The blonde recruiter is part of the duo who turned Harriet Manners into a bona fide model for their runway show, but where else have we seen the actress before the teen drama series?
As a worker on Wilbur's side, Beardsall's character, Betty, plays a bigger part in the series than you realize.
Getting to Know Betty in Geek Girl
Hebe Beardsall is Betty in the eight-episode Netflix series Geek Girl. She's the short-haired blonde girl who always tags alongside Wilbur Evans (played by Emmanuel Imani) aka Harriet's agent and mentor in the fashion world.
Betty is Wilbur's meek assistant, righthand woman, and friend who helped him look for the 'perfect' model to add to their roster for the show.

What Does 'Geek' Mean in Netflix's Geek Girl? Exploring the Series Title - Main Image
Exploring the 'geek' in Netflix's Geek Girl title is far beyond the literal meaning of the term.
Harriet Manners (played by Emily Carey) is described as an 'awkward' and 'neurodivergent' teenager whose normal life as a secondary student turns upside down when she gets spotted (and recruited) as a runway model in the series.
The main character of the story has always found it difficult to come to terms with the word 'geek' whenever her bullies labeled her as such, so what is the significance of it in the series?
Don't Take 'Geek' in Geek Girl Literally
Harriet first discovered the term 'geek' when her bullies called her that in the hallway and the first thing she did was search for its meaning in her carry-on dictionary.

Do Harriet and Nick End Up Together in Geek Girl? Book vs Series Story Explained - Main Image
While the new Netflix series revolves around the socially awkward 15-year-old girl, this teen story also involves a little romance. That said, do Harriet and Nick end up together in Geek Girl?
A new model meets the nephew of legendary fashion designer Yuka Ito and sparks go flying the longer they meet at the most random events. Their romance may not have been the main story to tell, but it was definitely worth pursuing. Here's the difference between the book and their ending on the Netflix series!

I don’t generally intertwine my two jobs as a hustling Gen-Zer who is incapable of keeping her life together, but I’m making an exception for Geek Girl because it’s a show that centers on the fashion industry. An industry that is so remarkably unforgiving that I had to immediately leave my brain behind while watching Geek Girl. It’s how some of us felt after watching Emily in Paris. Nobody has it that easy, and nobody is going to be handing things to you on a platter that way. Geek Girl tells the story of Harriet Manners, a high schooler, whose life suddenly changes when she happens to be at London Fashion Week, thanks to her class winning a competition. She’s scouted by one of the industry’s biggest agencies and then taken on a journey into the world of all things fashion. Adapted from the best-selling novels by Holly Smale,...

From a geek girl to a fashion model, Harriet Manners’ life changed all of a sudden when she was spotted by a modeling agent at London Fashion Week. Geek Girl pretty much follows the Princess Diaries character arc—from being bullied at school to being celebrated by the world. Harriet, a neurodivergent teenager, struggled with her social life, but thankfully she had Nat, her best friend, by her side to support her. The school bully, Lexi, and her minions had crushed Harriet’s self-esteem, and as a result, she preferred hiding away from any form of attention. One wrong move and Harriet always ended up becoming the joke of the school. Harriet was not expecting her life to change after the London Fashion Week because making it big in the fashion industry was Nat’s dream and not hers. But life had other plans for Harriet, and soon it turned into a journey of self-discovery.

Netflix’s Geek Girl is all things teen-drama fun. The English show starring House of The Dragon’s Emily Carey does require some suspension of disbelief. Especially if you have any knowledge of the workings of the fashion industry. However, it’s still an amusing coming-of-age story about finding one’s true self and owning up to your distinctiveness. The fashion industry is surely not as forgiving as it is in this show. Geek Girl tells the story of Harriet Manners, an intelligent straight-a student whose life is upended when she gets scouted as a supermodel by one of London’s biggest fashion agencies. Harriet’s not the kind of girl who likes attention. In fact, she’s the kind of kid who hates the spotlight and would rather hide in the corner. Harriet’s never been interested in fashion; it’s always been her best friend Nat, who obviously...

Amazon MGM Studios has handed an official pilot order to Band, a drama created and executive produced by Daniel Barnz who will direct the pilot and serve as showrunner on the potential series. The project had had a blinking green light for weeks while assembling its cast. The actors have now been set, including John Benjamin Hickey and Miguel Angel Garcia who star alongside Lynley Eilers, Alex Fitzalan, Henry Hunter Hall and Chanté Adams.

One of the trickiest aspects of HBO’s House of the Dragon was the way viewers spent roughly half of the drama’s first season with “younger” versions of our two heroines — Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower — before a time jump brought longer-term stars Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke to the screen.
That put a lot of pressure on Milly Alcock and Emily Carey to anchor those initial episodes, which they did extremely well. Alcock had the greater visibility, quickly becoming a red carpet favorite and setting herself up for the opportunity to play Supergirl. Carey’s first major House of the Dragon follow-up, Netflix’s adaptation of Holly Smale’s coming-of-age Geek Girl series, isn’t as high profile as joining DC’s House of Zor-El, but it’s a solid showcase for its 21-year-old star.

Despite being a professional writer for almost 19 years now, Lee Eisenberg had never written a solo script before “Lessons in Chemistry.” Having gotten his big start on the hit mockumentary sitcom “The Office” — for which he earned four of his seven total Emmy nominations to date, including one for Best Comedy Writing alongside his frequent collaborator Gene Stupnitsky in 2008 — he had spent most of his writing career co-writing episodes of TV. But on “Lessons in Chemistry,” which is based on Bonnie Garmus‘ 2022 bestseller of the same name, he penned two episodes by himself, the opener and closer, in addition to co-writing two, both with his wife, Emily Jane Fox.

The movie, which is set to hit theaters on November 27, will tell the story of how a shy green-skinned woman named Elphaba becomes a cackling villain with an aversion to water we first met in The Wizard of Oz.
Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba, who will ultimately become the "Wicked Witch of the West," while pop megastar Ariana Grande will play Glinda, aka "Good Witch of the East."
It's probably not a major to spoiler to note that their friendship doesn't last!

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande star in director Jon M Chu’s new musical adaptation. Take a look at the new Wicked trailer.
Jon M. Chu’s Wicked is one of this year’s most awaited film musicals. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, Chu’s film is adapted from the hugely popular, and rather good, stage musical. Recently, Chu also confirmed that the film would use live vocals, which isn’t surprising as both Grande and Erivo have pretty good pipes for this sort of thing.
The story proved too big for a single film, so Chu and writer Winnie Holtzman have divided it into two parts. We assume the first part will adapt the musical’s first act while Wicked Part Two will do justice to the second act, but don’t quote us on that.
A new trailer has just landed online as well, albeit not on a broomstick.

Universal Pictures invites you back to the land of Oz for the new feature adaptation of the long-running popular musical Wicked. Universal has now unveiled the extra lengthy three-and-a-half minute trailer. Wicked is the untold story of the witches of Oz. The film stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony-winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship.

In my review of The Greatest Hits, the new sci-fi romance from The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby writer/director Ned Benson, I mention that it opens with a montage of two young lovers “generally doing things that young, hip couples do in LA.” So, as someone from Los Angeles, I couldn’t help but pick the brains of Benson and stars Lucy Boynton and Justin H. Min about my hometown when I recently had the chance to sit down with them … in Chicago, where I now live. Because The Greatest Hits is a movie about the power of music to literally transport protagonist Harriet (Boynton) back in time, we also talked about music. But less specific artists (though some come up), and more the ways that...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers about The Greatest Hits.] Nostalgia and grief get intertwined in The Greatest Hits, now streaming on Hulu. With the help of specific songs, Harriet (Lucy Boynton) finds herself capable of traveling back to the past before her boyfriend, Max (David Corenswet), is tragically killed. The songs take Harriet back to the time she and Max first heard them together, but she also suffers seizures in the process. Despite her many attempts during each time-traveling trip, Harriet is unable to stop Max’s death from happening. When Harriet meets and falls in love with David (Justin H. Min), Harriet eventually comes to a life-altering decision. Harriet figures out a way to save Max, and it’s by never starting a relationship with him in the first place when she travels back one last time. This also means she has to sacrifice her current romance with David, but she promises to look for...

Nelly Furtado and Lucy Boynton pose for photos together at the premiere of their new movie The Greatest Hits held at El Capitan Theatre on Monday (April 15) in Hollywood.
The two ladies were joined by their co-stars Justin H Min and Austin Crute, as well as writer/director Ned Benson.
Noticeably missing at the premiere was David Corenswet, who is currently off filming the upcoming Superman movie!
In the movie, Harriet (Boynton) finds art imitating life when she discovers certain songs can transport her back in time – literally. While she relives the past through romantic memories of her former boyfriend (Corenswet), her time travelling collides with a burgeoning new love interest in the present (Min). As she takes her journey through the hypnotic connection between music and memory, she wonders – even if she could change the past, should she?

Stars: Lucy Boynton, Justin H. Min, David Corenswet, Austin Crute, Retta | Written and Directed by Ned Benson
Harriet (Lucy Boynton) is struggling to deal with the loss of her boyfriend Max (David Corenswet), attending grief therapy two years after his passing. She figures out that certain songs will take her back in time, charting music shared in their relationship to revisit specific memories. Trying to remember the song that could unlock saving Max’s life, Harriet gets mixed up with David (Justin H. Min) in the present.
It goes without saying that a good soundtrack makes a movie — though that doesn’t necessarily mean one needs to dazzle in order to make a film worthwhile. However, if you are leading with sound first, it’s an unwritten given that your songs need to be in order and benefit the wider storyline. It might be The Greatest Hits in name, but...

Nearly a decade after his ambitious first feature (which then became three features) and filmmaker Ned Benson is finally back on the big (and small) screen. His second film, “The Greatest Hits,” arrives ten years after his directorial debut, the 2014 breakout feature “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby.” And this time, Benson is letting his protagonist have a happily ever after … kind of.
During a recent interview, Benson told IndieWire that, in a similar twist to his “Eleanor Rigby” process, the script for “The Greatest Hits” was one he had been tinkering with for years, starting in 2008. Unlike “Eleanor Rigby,” which was eventually split into a “Him”/”Her”/”Them” mini trilogy, “The Greatest Hits” firmly centers on sole lead Harriet (Lucy Boynton), whose heartbreak leads to a music-induced time travel back to her past relationship with her late lover (David Corenswet) prior to his death.

After a premiere at the SXSW Film Festival last month, Ned Benson’s romantic drama The Greatest Hits is making its way to streaming on Hulu. The film, a love story with a unique sci-fi twist, is a crowd-pleasing charmer, and much of that is thanks to its stars, Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody) and Justin H. Min (The Umbrella Academy).
We at FandomWire had the opportunity to speak with Boynton and Min about their roles in the film before its release. Keep reading to find out what they had to say.

Here comes another time-traveling fantasy, but with a twist. As the kids on Bandstand used to say to Dick Clark, “It’s a gotta’ good beat. You can dance to it”. Maybe you could even do the twist. That’s because the force to send this story back through the decades isn’t a big machine, like the one H.G. Welles conjured or even the beloved DeLorean that Doc Brown modified. Nor is it hypnosis ala’ Somewhere In Time, though the brain is involved along with…the ears. You see the gimmick here is music, specifically certain pop tunes that propel a twenty-something woman into the past. And just what is she doing six or seven years ago? Making “sure bet” investments perhaps? No, she’s trying to save a “lost love”, so this is really a romantic fantasy with a soundtrack that’s this couple’s take on...

Review: Music connects people in ways beyond sharing similar tastes in genre or artists. Music can evoke memories of times and places where significant events have occurred. Whether it be a happy or tragic memory, music can take us back whether we like it or not.

Lucy Boynton plays a woman who can travel back in time with the power of a song in a high-concept, low-enjoyment fantasy
In the often insufferably cutesy romance The Greatest Hits, our heroine travels back in time whenever a song from her past is played, nostalgia acting as a magical, transporting force. While watching the film, we too are pulled back but rather to all of the far superior films we’re inconveniently reminded of, from High Fidelity to Richard Curtis’s similarly high-concept About Time to the ’00s Sundance breakouts (500) Days of Summer and Garden State. It’s a film about the power that great music has in distracting us from the now that instead showcases the power that great films have in distracting us from the lesser ones they inspire.
But even without the many whiffs of familiarity, writer-director Ned Benson’s film would still be hitting a bum note.
