After a successful run in theaters, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s film “It Ends With Us” is now available to stream at home.
The drama, which was released on Aug. 9, was previously available to rent and purchase on Prime Video. Now, fans of the best-selling novel are able to watch the movie adaptation on Netflix.
“It Ends With Us” was added to the streaming giant on Dec. 9.
Netflix shared the news in a post on X.
“It Ends With Us is now on Netflix in the US. Starring Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and Brandon Sklenar. Based on the novel by Colleen Hoover,” Netflix’s tweet said.
Baldoni directed “It Ends With Us” and also starred in the film alongside Lively, Sklenar, Jenny Slate and Hasan Minhaj.

Baldoni said during an interview with TODAY.com that he was protective over the storyline.
“I’ve been a fierce protector of the book and Lily’s story and her emotional arc, and not wanting to change it much. That’s what I promised Colleen: I will protect this book,” he said.
