Erotic Thriller 'Verity' Available for Digital Purchase and Rental

The film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 2018 novel "Verity" is now available for digital purchase and rental on platforms including Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Fandango At Home. The thriller, directed by Michael Showalter and written by Nick Antosca, stars Anne Hathaway as a bestselling author unable to finish her popular book series and Dakota Johnson as the struggling writer hired to complete it.

As Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson) works on finishing the series, she uncovers unsettling secrets about the author, Verity Crawford (Hathaway), and her husband, Jeremy Crawford (Josh Hartnett), which cast a shadow over Verity's career. The film, a production of Amazon MGM Studios, had a theatrical run and is now being offered for home viewing.

Digital purchase prices for "Verity" are set at $24.99, with rental options available for $19.99. Renters will have 48 hours to watch the movie after starting playback. The release date for the DVD, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray versions has not yet been announced.

While "Verity" is not currently available on subscription streaming services, it is expected to debut on Amazon Prime Video in the coming weeks. As an Amazon MGM film, it is slated for a streaming release on Prime Video, though an exact date has not been specified. Based on the release patterns of similar Amazon MGM movies, "Verity" could begin streaming free for subscribers as early as mid-to-late November 2026, or potentially as late as December or January, depending on its post-theatrical window.

For those interested in accessing the film via subscription, a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime is available. The subscription includes access to Prime Video, along with other benefits such as free two-day shipping and exclusive deals. Following the trial period, Amazon Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139 annually. A discounted Prime for Young Adults membership is also offered for individuals aged 18-24.
