A film adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel Verity was being developed by Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund and Eat the Cat, and they had hired April Maguire and Will Honley to write the screenplay before November 2020 for the then-named Amazon Studios. In May 2024, Hilary Seitz was hired to do a rewrite of the film's screenplay. After additional draft work from Angela LaManna, Antosca was finalizing the screenplay himself in November 2024 when Michael Showalter had signed on to direct the film and Anne Hathaway agreed to lead the film as Verity Crawford. The next month, Josh Hartnett and Dakota Johnson joined the cast for the film. In February 2025, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Brady Wagner, Irina Dvorovenko, K. K. Moggie, and Michael Abbott Jr. were cast in undisclosed roles.
Principal photography began in February 2025, with Hathaway and Hartnett shooting on location in New York City. Johnson began shooting her scenes by the following month. The production wrapped in April 2025.
Verity is scheduled to be released in the United States on October 2, 2026. It was originally set to be released on May 15, 2026.
