Adapted from the best-selling novel by Colleen Hoover, Verity marks a sharp pivot from the author’s signature romance into darker, more psychologically charged territory. The first trailer leans into that shift, teasing a story where desire and danger are tightly intertwined.
Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway stars as Verity Crawford, a celebrated author whose life – and work – are shrouded in mystery, while Dakota Johnson plays Lowen Ashleigh, a financially struggling writer hired to complete Verity’s unfinished series. Relocating to the secluded Crawford estate, Lowen soon discovers a collection of unsettling autobiographical writings that suggest something far more sinister beneath Verity’s carefully constructed persona.
As Lowen becomes increasingly entangled with Verity’s husband Jeremy (Josh Hartnett), the line between truth and fiction begins to blur. What starts as a career-saving opportunity spirals into a web of manipulation, obsession, and dangerous attraction.
With THAT cast, a vibe that should please crowds awaiting their next Housemaid obsession, and a slick, recontextualised Kylie Minogue sample, Verity will easily seduce audiences when she arrives in Australian theatres from October 1st, 2026.
