Lainey Wilson Makes Big Screen Debut in Film Adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s "Reminders of Him"

In a move that further blurs the line between Nashville and Hollywood, reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson is officially headed to the big screen. The breakout country star has been cast in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel Reminders of Him, marking Wilson’s feature film debut according to a Variety exclusive.

After earning high praise for her role as Abby in Yellowstone — where her music and charisma seamlessly found their home on the Montana plains — Wilson is now bringing her Southern charm and storytelling soul to the silver screen in one of the most highly anticipated book-to-film projects in recent memory.

While details about her specific role in Reminders of Him remain under wraps, Wilson’s casting is already generating a wave of excitement among both country music fans and Hoover’s dedicated “CoHo” readership. Known for her poignant, emotionally charged novels, Hoover’s Reminders of Him tells the story of a troubled young mother returning home to reconnect with the daughter she was forced to leave behind — a narrative ripe with the kind of heartache, redemption, and resilience that Wilson herself so often sings about.

This isn’t just a cameo or a novelty appearance. This is a full-fledged leap into film for an artist who has built her career on authenticity and depth. And if her storytelling instincts on stage and screen so far are any indication, Wilson may very well deliver a performance as unforgettable as her chart-topping hits.

The Louisiana native has never been one to shy away from a challenge — whether it’s climbing the ranks in country music or exploring new artistic territory. With accolades including a Grammy, a slew of CMA and ACM Awards, and a fast-growing presence in pop culture, Wilson’s evolution from country star to multi-hyphenate performer seems not just natural, but inevitable.

For Colleen Hoover fans, Wilson’s casting is a promising signal that the film will stay true to the emotional grit and raw humanity that defines the novel. And for the country music world, it’s yet another milestone moment for one of the genre’s most influential voices. As the camera starts rolling on Reminders of Him, one thing’s clear: Lainey Wilson isn’t just breaking into Hollywood — she’s kicking the door open, fringe and all.
