Story summary

The movie adaptation of "The Love Hypothesis", starring Lili Reinhart as Olive Smith and Tom Bateman as Dr. Adam Caslsen, premiered on Amazon Prime Video. While the story is set at Stanford University in California, where Olive is a PhD student, actual filming did not take place there due to logistical reasons. Instead, the production team chose various other academic institutions for shooting. Despite this, the movie retains an authentic campus atmosphere reflective of Stanford's environment. The film was adapted from Ali Hazelwood’s 2021 romance novel and originally conceived as Star Wars fanfiction in 2018.
