Lainey Wilson On Screen: A New Chapter Begins

Country superstar Lainey Wilson is stepping into a brand new spotlight – the big screen. The “Heart Like a Truck” singer is making her film debut in the upcoming adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel Reminders of Him, and the first trailer has just dropped. For fans who’ve followed her from honky-tonks to stadium tours, this is a whole new side of Lainey – and she looks right at home.

Lainey Wilson Joins Reminders of Him Cast

The movie, directed by Justin Baldoni (known for Five Feet Apart and It Ends With Us), tells the story of Kenna Rowan – a young mother rebuilding her life after a tragic past. Wilson takes on a supporting role in the film, playing a character that seems tailor-made for her tough-but-tender persona. The trailer gives us just a glimpse – but enough to see that Lainey brings her trademark grit and heart to the screen.

From Stage Lights to Studio Sets

This isn’t Lainey’s first time stepping outside of country music. After making a memorable appearance in YellowstoneSeason 5, she proved she can hold her own on screen just as well as behind a microphone. Now, with Reminders of Him, she’s moving from TV to feature film – a natural next step for an artist who’s built her career on fearless evolution.

A Story That Feels Like Home

Colleen Hoover’s novel deals with themes of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances — all things that fit right in with Wilson’s songwriting world. It’s not hard to imagine why she was drawn to the project; it feels like a story she might have written herself. Her music has always been about real people, real pain, and real hope – the kind of emotional truth that makes country music (and good storytelling) timeless.

What’s Next For Lainey Wilson

With Reminders of Him expected to release March 13th, 2026 – Wilson’s calendar is looking stacked. Between filming, touring, and her ongoing chart success, she’s proving there’s no limit to what a modern country artist can do. Whether she’s holding a mic or a movie script, Lainey Wilson is writing her own kind of country history – one verse, one role, one moment at a time.
