Netflix Announcement
The announcement that Netflix would own the adaptation of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo arrived in March of last year. With author Taylor Jenkins Reid having been a fever among young people — including going viral on TikTok — fans were soon pressing the stream to reveal who the actors and actresses would be.
However, a year later, Leslye Headland and Reid are just the first names confirmed in the film.
I dare you to be as patient as Evelyn Hugo waiting for the Oscar
