Based on the 2016 novel of the same name by author Colleen Hoover, the film will follow Lily, a woman who moves to a new city following college graduation, where she meets and falls in love with Ryle.
Her newfound bliss isn’t long-lived, however, as an ex-lover returns and causes chaos within her world.
Alongside Lively and Baldoni, It Ends with Us also stars Jenny Slate, who plays Ryle’s sister, while Brandon Sklenar features as Lily’s first love, Atlas Corrigan.
The Jane the Virgin alum serves as a director on the project, while the Gossip Girl star is executive producing.
