When Carlsen agrees to keep the charade and be her boyfriend, Olive finds it hard to differentiate between what\u2019s real and what\u2019s not when the force of attraction is bigger than they expected. And, when a big science conference puts Olive\u2019s career at risk, Adam tries his best to show her that science and love can gel together.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Prime Video, here\u2019s the official synopsis: \u201cBased on the New York Times best-selling novel by Ali Hazelwood, The Love Hypothesis follows Olive (Lili Reinhart), a brilliant PhD candidate focused on her future in academia. But when she realises her best friend Ahn (Rachel Marsh) has fallen for her crush Jeremy (Nicholas Duvernay), Olive impulsively kisses intimidating professor Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman) to prove she\u2019s moved on. What begins as a desperate act of friendship spirals into a fake relationship with rules, boundaries, and a mutually beneficial agreement. When their arrangement begins to blur the lines between performance and reality, Olive is forced to test her most daunting hypothesis yet: that love might actually be worth the risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-10  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"relative  bg-stone overflow-hidden\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1920\/1280\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LVHY_2026_UT_250728_BOSPHI_04142RC.jpeg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"Photo courtesy of Philippe Bosse\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1024px) 960px, 100vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LVHY_2026_UT_250728_BOSPHI_04142RC.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LVHY_2026_UT_250728_BOSPHI_04142RC-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LVHY_2026_UT_250728_BOSPHI_04142RC-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LVHY_2026_UT_250728_BOSPHI_04142RC-768x512.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"caption mt-2 flex justify-between gap-4\">\n\t\t\t<span>Photo courtesy of Philippe Bosse<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is in the cast?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a cute reveal, Riverdale actress Lili Reinhart posted on TikTok that she will star in the film as Olive Smith and executive produce it.
