Love gets a modern twist. Fourteen years after the original Crazy, Stupid, Love charmed audiences worldwide with its hilarious yet heartfelt take on relationships, the beloved romantic comedy returns with Crazy, Stupid, Love: The Next Chapter.
This fresh installment brings together a stellar ensemble cast, blending returning fan favorites with exciting new faces. Academy Award® nominee Ryan Gosling and Golden Globe® winner Emma Stone reprise their iconic roles as Jacob and Hannah, now navigating the complexities of marriage and
parenthood. Joining them are Emmy winner Maya Hawke (Stranger Things), rising star Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), and Academy Award® winner Olivia Colman (The Favourite), who bring new layers of humor and heart to this modern love story.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Greta Gerwig (Barbie, Lady Bird), Crazy, Stupid, Love: The Next Chapter explores the chaos of love in the digital age. Set in a world where dating apps, social media, and modern pressures complicate relationships, the film follows multiple interconnected love stories. At its core is Jacob and Hannah’s struggle to rekindle their spark while raising two teenagers, one of whom (played by Hawke) is navigating her first heartbreak. Meanwhile, Noah Centineo stars as a hopeless romantic who finds himself entangled in a love triangle, and Olivia Colman delivers a scene-stealing performance as a widowed therapist rediscovering her own capacity for love.
The story also brings back Steve Carell and Julianne Moore as Cal and Emily, whose decades-long marriage faces a new set of challenges. Their journey intertwines with the younger generation’s romantic escapades, creating a heartfelt and hilarious exploration of how love evolves over time.
Written by original screenwriter Dan Fogelman (This Is Us), the film retains the sharp wit and emotional depth that made the first installment a classic. With Gerwig’s signature touch, Crazy, Stupid, Love: The Next Chapter balances laugh-out-loud moments with poignant reflections on love, heartbreak, and second chances.
The film is produced by Academy Award® winner Emma Stone, alongside Denise Di Novi and Marc Platt, who return as producers from the original. Executive producers include Ryan Gosling and Greta Gerwig.
Set against a vibrant backdrop of cozy cafés, bustling cityscapes, and intimate family moments, Crazy, Stupid, Love: The Next Chapter promises to be a cinematic event for fans of the original and newcomers alike. With its all-star cast, sharp writing, and Gerwig’s visionary direction, this romantic comedy is poised to capture hearts once again.
Crazy, Stupid, Love: The Next Chapter hits theaters this summer. Love is still crazy, still stupid, and even more complicated.
