“It Ends With Us” is now playing in theaters.
Just keep swimming. It Ends With Us, the movie based on Colleen Hoover’s beloved novel of the same name, debuted in movie theaters on August 9, 2024. If you’re wondering when you can film at home, read on to learn when It Ends With Us will likely be available on Netflix and digital platforms.
It Ends With Us was inspired by Hoover’s bestselling 2016 novel, which went viral on TikTok in 2020 and is the first of the author’s books to be adapted on the big screen. The romance drama follows Lily Bloom (Blake Lively), a woman with a traumatic childhood who starts a new life in Boston and opens her own flower shop.
She meets Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni), a handsome neurosurgeon, and the two fall deeply in love. Unfortunately, Lily starts to see sides of Ryle that remind her of her parents’ abusive relationship. When Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar), Lily’s first love, unexpectedly comes back into her life, her relationship with Ryle is disrupted. His actions force her make a crucial decision about her future and who she wants to be with.
Baldoni, who also directed the film, told Entertainment Weekly in August that he was inspired after reading the book. But his vision for the movie adaptation required aging up the characters. “I wanted women of all ages to be able to see themselves, and aging up the characters, I think, really helps it become a universal story, and it takes it out of the YA genre. I believed, from the beginning, that Blake Lively is aspirational to young women and would never be seen as too old once they saw the movie,” he explained.
The actor added that he wasn’t affected by fans’ criticisms online about the age differences between the actors and the characters in the book. “It didn’t really bother me because the fact that they were talking about it was a beautiful thing,” Baldoni said. “If nobody talks about your book adaptation, then I feel like that’s more of a problem. Then we should be worried.”
At the It Ends With Us premiere, Lively revealed to E! News that her husband, Ryan Reynolds, wrote the iconic rooftop scene from the books, which depicts Lily’s first time meeting Ryle. “He works on everything I do,” Lively told the celebrity news site about her husband’s involvement. “I work on everything he does. So his wins, his celebrations are mine and mine are his.”
Excited to watch the rooftop scene and other memorable moments from the book come to life on screen? Here’s how to watch It Ends With Us and when the movie is expected to land on Netflix and other streaming platforms.

It Ends With Us will eventually be streaming on Netflix after its theatrical debut, thanks to a multi-year agreement between Sony and the streaming giant. Sony has not yet announced a Netflix release date, but recent films typically have had a 120-day theater-to-Netflix window.
For example, last year’s Sony’s rom-com Anyone But You launched in theaters on December 22, 2023, and arrived on Netflix 123 days later on April 23. The Equalizer 3 had a 122-day theater-to-Netflix window, while No Hard Feelings’ timeline was 121 days. That means It Ends With Us could arrive on Netflix in December 2024 or sometime around four months from now.
It’s worth noting that the film’s box office performance could influence how quickly the movie will be released on Netflix. Sony’s Marvel flop Madame Web debuted on Netflix much earlier than expected, on May 14, 2024, only three months after it premiered in theaters.
