A New Chapter for Hoover’s Fans—and for Georgia Film
Based on Hoover’s 2019 novel, Regretting You dives deep into the emotional dynamics of a fractured mother-daughter relationship following a devastating tragedy.

What This Means for Aspiring Talent
With Georgia’s continued rise as a production hub, Regretting You adds to the growing list of high-profile films choosing the state for principal photography. This presents potential casting opportunities for local talent—both on-screen and behind the scenes.
