Hitting the big screen.
Lainey Wilson is no stranger to being on set for a scripted show as she made her acting debut on the hit Taylor Sheridan show, Yellowstone. Wilson’s character, Abby, embodied many of her real-life characteristics, as she was a musician trying to find love while juggling life on the road.
Taylor Sheridan confessed that much like Ryan Bingham’s character Walker, the role was made specifically for Wilson, and was the perfect way for her to dip her toe into the acting sphere.

Wilson must have caught the acting bug, as she has just revealed her newest role.
Variety broke the news that Wilson has been cast in the Universal adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s hit novel “Reminders of Him.” Wilson will join the cast of Maika Monroe, Tyriq Withers, Rudy Pankow, Lauren Graham, Bradley Whitford, and Nicholas Duvernay for her feature film debut.
“Reminders of Him” became a best-selling novel for Colleen Hoover, published in 2022 and selling over 6.5 million copies. The story follows Kenna Rowan (Monroe), who returns to her hometown after serving five years in prison for a mistake she made. Rowan knows that she will have to make amends with many people to earn their forgiveness for her past, and the story follows her as she mends those relationships and hopes to reconnect with her daughter. Variety notes that the film is described as a “transformative feature film about motherhood, forgiveness and the power of one love to heal even the most shattered heart.”
Vanessa Caswill is set to direct “Reminders of Him.” Hoover wrote the screenplay with Lauren Levine. Hoover and Levine are also producing the film through their production company, Heartbones Entertainment. Gina Matthews is producing through her Little Engine Productions, and Robin Fisichella is executive producing. Christine Sun has been named director of production development, overseeing the project.
As of right now, the film is set to hit theaters on February 13th, 2026.
I can’t wait to see Wilson on screen in my local theater.
