Rebecca Yarros’ The Things We Leave Unfinished Is Becoming a Movie — Here’s What We Know

If you’ve cried, gasped, or squealed your way through Fourth Wing and Onyx Storm, you already know Rebecca Yarros has a magic touch. But now, the beloved author is stepping off the dragon path—and onto the big screen.

This week’s bookish buzz? The Things We Leave Unfinished, a soul-stirring romance penned by Yarros, is officially in development as a feature film. 📽️✨ And while it’s a totally different vibe from Basgiath and bonded dragons, it’s still so Rebecca—poignant, heart-wrenching, and deeply human.

According to Deadline, the film will be produced by BCDF Pictures (known for The Hating Game and After) and directed by Ry Russo-Young (Before I Fall). The script is being written by Jennifer Comeaux, with Stephanie Slack and Laura Notarianni of MRC, and Claude Dal Farra and Brian Keady producing.

We’re still waiting on casting announcements, but with this dream team behind the scenes, we’re already stocking up on tissues and book-to-movie popcorn. 🍿💔

If you haven’t read The Things We Leave Unfinished yet, now’s the perfect time. This dual-timeline novel weaves together WWII-era heartbreak and modern-day romance, balancing deep historical emotion with that addictive Yarros-style connection. It’s a raw, romantic story about grief, healing, and second chances.

Whether you're a romantasy devotee or a contemporary fiction fan, this book proves once again that Yarros knows how to wreck and heal us in the best way possible.
