Willa Fitzgerald and Alan Ritchson in “Reacher” Season 1.
Amazon Prime Video/Shane MahoodOne of the stars from the hit series Reacher is joining the cast of It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover’s next movie adaptation.
In Ends with Us, of course, is director Justin Baldoni’s hit film adaptation of Hoover’s best-selling 2016 novel of the same name starring Blake Lively and Baldoni. Since It Ends with Us was released, however, a fued between the two creatives has erupted into lawsuits against one other.
Hoover, meanwhile, is proceeding with the production of Regretting You, which is based on the author’s hit 2019 novel of the same name.
According to Deadline, Willa Fitzgerald — who starred as Margrave, Ga., Police Officer Roscoe Conklin in Reacher Season 1 opposite Alan Ritchson’s Jack Reacher — has joined the cast of Regretting You in an unspecified role.
Per IMDb, Allison Williams (Get Out and M3GAN) and Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) will star as mother and daughter Morgan and Ciara Grant in Regretting You.
The logline, according to IMDb, notes that Regretting You “centers on the strained relationship between young mother Morgan Grant and her teenage daughter Clara, exacerbated by Morgan’s husband Chris’s tragic death, forcing them to navigate life’s challenges together.”
Directed by The Fault in Our Stars filmmaker Josh Boone, Regretting You will also star Dave Franco (Neighbors, The Disaster Artist) and Mason Thames (The Black Phone, Monster Summer). The film is pegged for an Oct. 24 release date from Paramount Pictures.

Willa Fitzgerald starred opposite Kyle Gallner in writer-director J.T. Mollner’s critically acclaimed serial killer thriller Strange Darling, which was released in theaters in August and debuted on streaming on Paramount+ on March 1.
In a phone conversation prior to the film’s release in theaters, Fitzgerald said she’d be likes the idea of returning to her role of Officer Roscoe Conklin opposite Alan Ritchson in a future season of Reacher if the opportunity presented itself.
After all, Fitzgerald’s Reacher Season 1 castmate Malcolm Goodwin, who plays Roscoe’s boss, Oscar Finlay, turned up in a guest role in Season 2. Roscoe was alluded to during the Season 2 but never appeared.
“I don’t have any insider knowledge about whether there will be more Roscoe or not,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m as much in the dark as anyone else, but I love playing that character and I loved getting the chance to help initiate the Reacher television universe.
“It was a lot of fun to take on and I have a lot of respect for Nick Santora, the showrunner, and I still watch the show,” added Fitzgerald. “I love watching the show and am excited to see where it goes from here.”
Reacher Season 3 is still unfolding on Prime Video, with the release of Episode 7 slated for this week. Fitzgerald most recently starred opposite Scott Eastwood and Sylvester Stallone in the spy thriller Alarum, which was released in January.
