Lili Reinhart Says Hollywood Is “Too Afraid To Make” Her Lesbian Vampire Book Adaptation

As Lili Reinhart celebrates her role in The Love Hypothesis, she’s ready to sink her teeth into another romantic book adaptation.

Without revealing the title, the actress recently teased that she’s trying to adapt a novella “about lesbian vampires” but is having trouble finding a studio that’s willing to take on the source material.

“People are too afraid to make that,” Reinhart told Hits Radio. “So, if you work at a studio and are watching this video, I don’t know why you wouldn’t make that in this day and age. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Although Reinhart didn’t reveal which novella she’s trying to adapt, some are speculating it to be Irish author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla (1872), about a young Austrian woman who is pursued by the eponymous vampire.

The project comes as Reinhert promotes Prime Video’s adaptation of Ali Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis, in which professor Dr. Carlsen (Tom Bateman) and PhD student Olive (Reinhart) start a fake relationship to test their theories about love.

Reinhart also serves as an executive producer on the Claire Scanlon-helmed adaptation, which is penned by Sarah Rothschild. She has previously been an EP on her films Chemical Hearts (2020), Look Both Ways (2022) and American Sweatshop (2025).
