Lainey Wilson To Make Her Feature Film Debut In 2026

You’ve seen her on the small screen, and very soon, we’ll be seeing Lainey Wilson on the big screen.

According to a new Variety report, the Watermelon Moonshine singer is attached to the upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s book, Reminders Of Him. A Valentine’s Day special, the film is set for release on 13 February 2026.

The report states that in addition to Wilson, the film will star actors Lauren Graham, Nicholas Duvernay, Rudy Pankow, Bradley Whitford, Maika Monroe, and Tyriq Withers. Meanwhile, Vanessa Caswill will direct the film.

Details of Wilson’s role in the film are scarce. However, Monroe is set to portray protagonist Kenna Rowan, Pankow will portray Rowan’s boyfriend Scotty, and Withers will portray bar owner Ledger Ward.

Wilson made her acting debut in the television series, Yellowstone, where she played a burgeoning singer named Abby. Numerous of her songs also featured in the series.

In a 2023 interview with Countrytown, Wilson discussed how much she enjoyed her time on Yellowstone, and said that if she could showcase her music in more places—including via acting—she’d leap at the opportunity.

“The cast and crew have been amazing. They’re just incredible people; I’ve learned that I just really like being creative, whatever that means, kind of stepping outside of my comfort zone and doing things that are a little scary because I feel like if you’re not doing that, then you’re not growing,” Wilson told Countrytown.

She added, “And I love it. No matter what, songwriting is going to be my number one because that’s what got me here in the first place. But I’m not scared to try it again, especially if it’s an opportunity for me to share my music with the world; then you’re damn right I’m gonna do it.”

Wilson has been nominated for seven awards at this year’s ACMs. She’s received her first nomination for Artist-Songwriter of the Year, while her nominations for Song of the Year mark her fourth consecutive year being nominated and her seventh total nomination in the category.

The 60th ACM Awards will stream exclusively on Prime Video on Thursday, 8 May, at 8 pm EDT/7 pm CDT/5 pm PDT from the Ford Centre at The Star, Frisco, Texas.
