Love of Your Life will open in select theaters on October 7, 2026, before streaming on Prime Video on October 14. The first official trailer confirms the two-step release plan for Rachel Morrison’s romantic drama starring Margaret Qualley.
Qualley plays Maya, a woman trying to build a life after an unexpected loss. The trailer moves between her relationship with Charlie, a sudden break in that future, and a trip to Europe that becomes part escape and part attempt to start living again.
When Is Love of Your Life Coming Out?
The current U.S. release dates are October 7 in select theaters and October 14 on Prime Video. Prime Video’s official trailer page gives both dates, while the same-day report from The Playlist specifies that the streaming launch will be global.
The film will screen first at the Toronto International Film Festival. Park Pictures confirms the world premiere in TIFF’s 2026 Special Presentations program. The Playlist lists that premiere for September 13, several weeks before the public theatrical opening.
No wider theater count or city-by-city schedule has been announced in the sources checked for this article. “Select theaters” is the official level of detail for now, so local listings will be needed closer to October 7.
What the First Trailer Shows
The trailer begins with Maya meeting Charlie, played by Gabriel Basso. Their connection quickly becomes the future she wanted. The preview then cuts from that happiness to grief, leaving Maya to work out who she is when the life she planned is gone.
Maya goes to Europe looking for a distraction. She says she packed what she needed into two suitcases, threw away her phone, and did not return. That decision creates a physical distance from home, but the later scenes make clear that she has not escaped the memories or the people she left behind.
A possible new relationship becomes the trailer’s central question. Maya feels alive again, yet she cannot simply treat her earlier love as a chapter that can be erased. The film’s title comes into focus through that conflict: moving forward does not require pretending that the first relationship meant less.
The preview does not frame Maya’s grief as a clean before-and-after change. Images of travel, family, and romance overlap with moments when she pulls away or doubts her choices. That structure keeps the focus on Maya’s decisions instead of promising that a new partner will solve everything for her.
Who Is in the Love of Your Life Cast?
Margaret Qualley leads the film as Maya, and Gabriel Basso plays Charlie. The announced ensemble also includes Aaron Pierre, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Catherine Keener, Tamara Lawrance, and Corey Johnson.
The official trailer gives viewers clear looks at several of those performers, but it does not attach a complete character list to the footage. Beyond Maya and Charlie, this article is leaving the remaining roles unassigned until Amazon MGM or another primary source publishes a full cast breakdown.
Who Made Love of Your Life?
Rachel Morrison directed the film from a screenplay by Julia Cox. It is Morrison’s second narrative feature as director after The Fire Inside. Her cinematography work includes Mudbound, Black Panther, Fruitvale Station, and Dope.
Jessie Henderson and Ryan Gosling are the credited producers. The reported creative team also includes cinematographer Todd Banhazl, editor Jennifer Vecchiarello, production designer Laura Ellis Cricks, costume designer Jill Taylor, and composer Dustin O’Halloran.
Why the TIFF Premiere Matters
The September 13 TIFF screening is the film’s world premiere, not its commercial release. That distinction explains why festival reactions may appear before the October dates without the movie being available to general audiences.
The premiere should also provide the first substantial reviews and a clearer sense of how the finished film balances romance, grief, and Maya’s return home. Until those screenings happen, the trailer and official release information support a preview, not a verdict on the movie.
What Has Not Been Confirmed Yet
- Confirmed: the lead characters, principal ensemble, creative team, TIFF world premiere, select-theater date, and Prime Video date.
- Still unconfirmed in the checked sources: the runtime, a wider theatrical rollout, and a full list matching every supporting actor to a character.
- The trailer is rated R in its end card. It presents the film as an adult romantic drama, but it does not reveal enough to settle how the later relationships resolve.
Where to Track Love of Your Life
The Pixel Twelve movie page for Love of Your Life collects the trailer, release date, summary, and related coverage. The Movies hub covers other upcoming theatrical and streaming releases.
The next useful update will be a confirmed wider theater schedule, a complete official character list, or information released after the TIFF premiere. The two October dates are already firm in the current campaign: theaters first, then Prime Video one week later.
