The Idea of You is coming out on Prime Video on 2nd May, telling the love story of a 39-year-old art gallery owner and single mum who falls for a 20-year-old lead singer of a boyband inspired partly by One Direction's Harry Styles.

Anne Hathaway plays the leading lady opposite Nicholas Galitzine, who some fans may recognise from romcom Red, White and Royal Blue which came out last year.

But who else is in the cast of The Idea of You? Take a look at the complete list below.

Anne, 41, plays Soléne in The Idea of You, the newly-divorced mum-of-one who runs an art gallery in LA and falls for a 20-year-old international boy band star.

As the book gained traction during the pandemic in 2020, despite being published three years prior, the author Robinne Lee spoke to Vogue, explaining the story is about a woman reclaiming her sexuality.

She explained: “It was supposed to be a story about a woman approaching 40 and reclaiming her sexuality and rediscovering herself, just at the point that society traditionally writes women off.”

Prime Video viewers will know Nicholas from Red, White & Royal Blue which came out on the platform last year and told the story of the son of the American President and a British prince who fall for each other after their staged friendship grows deep.

He’s also starred in Purple Hearts, Cinderella opposite Camila Cabello, and TV series Chambers.
