The buzz is real! “10 Things I Love About You: Next Chapter” is quickly becoming one of 2025’s most anticipated romantic comedies. A modern reimagining of the 1999 cult classic, this film stars Maya Hawke as Kat Stratford and Jacob Elordi as Patrick Verona — a dynamic duo already winning hearts online. The trailer, which dropped last week, is a viral hit with over 18 million views on YouTube and TikTok combined in just 72 hours.
The Story Reimagined
Set in a present-day high school, the film revisits the beloved enemies-to-lovers storyline with fresh Gen Z energy. Kat is now a sharp-tongued poet and feminist with a quiet passion for indie rock, while Patrick remains the mysterious outsider — this time with a hidden love for music and soul-searching lyrics.
Production & Budget
Backed by a production budget of $35 million, the studio spared no expense on quality. From dreamy cinematography shot on Canon Cinema lenses to an emotionally charged indie soundtrack, the trailer’s polished look has already generated major buzz. Marketing spend is estimated at $5 million — with strategic teaser releases, influencer campaigns, and outdoor billboards in New York and L.A.
Trailer Success Story
Critics and fans alike are praising the trailer’s nostalgic yet modern tone. With sharp dialogue, slow-motion glances, and a sweeping natural backdrop, the chemistry between Hawke and Elordi is electric. It’s already being called “a Gen Z love story with real soul.”
Release Date
The film is officially set to hit theaters on August 15, 2025, just in time for summer love to hit the big screen.
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes exclusives, soundtrack reveals, and interviews with the cast. If the trailer is any indication, “10 Things I Love About You: Next Chapter” could be this year’s breakout romance.
