In a landscape where algorithms know your secrets and streaming platforms whisper sweet nothings like “You might also like…”, the next watchlist dominator is already loading. Between prestige dramas and romance flicks, Lili Reinhart is stepping into frame, this time in American Sweatshop, a tale that is part obsession thriller, part corporate horror. And the director behind it? Uta Briesewitz. Yes, the plot thickens, and not just onscreen.

While your streaming queue serves cozy comfort, American Sweatshop is gearing up to trade popcorn for panic, one eerie upload away from shattering your screen-time serenity.

Mark your movie calendars, or at least set a phone reminder between doomscrolling. American Sweatshop, the Uta Briesewitz-directed thriller starring Lili Reinhart, finally has a premiere date: September 19, 2025. The film already made noise at SXSW on March 8, where festivalgoers got the first taste of its bleak digital underworld. So yes, it is coming to a theater near you, just in time to ruin your autumn serotonin with psychological dread.

In American Sweatshop, Lili Reinhart ditches Riverdale for something even darker: content moderation. She plays Daisy Moriarty, whose 9-to-5 involves filtering the internet’s most disturbing uploads. But when a particularly violent video uploads itself into her psyche, Moriarty spirals into an obsession to unmask whoever posted it. A digital descent lined with silence, surveillance, and the kind of dread that flickers long after the screen goes dark. The job may be remote, but the horror is all too close to home.

While Daisy Moriarty is spiraling through trauma and TikTok horrors, Lili Reinhart's next role swaps doomscrolling for dopamine, with fake dating, lab coats, and fanfic-fueled butterflies.

From algorithm nightmares to academic daydreams, Lili Reinhart is now starring in The Love Hypothesis, the viral romance novel turned feature film. Playing Olive Smith, a biology PhD caught in a fake dating spiral with a grumpy-hot professor, Reinhart is also executive producing. Inspired by Star Wars fanfiction and blessed by BookTok, the rom-com is being helmed by Claire Scanlon and is currently filming in Montreal. May the chemistry be strong and peer-reviewed.

Who knew lightsabers and lab coats made for perfect fanfiction? Ali Hazelwood’s book, born from the galaxy far, far away, now lands on Earth, specifically on Amazon’s MGM set. Lili Reinhart is donning both lab goggles and a producer’s hat, with Vanity Fair confirming her double-duty role. Co-starring Tom Bateman as the brooding Dr. Carlsen, the film blends swoon with science in all the right doses. After all, fake dating gets a PhD because in this lab, chemistry is not just a metaphor.
