France is keeping the tradition of the romantic comedy alive with Jane Austen Wrecked My Life—aka Jane Austen a gâché ma vie, in French— a new, modern French rom-com that captures the spirit of Jane Austen novels.
Written and directed by Laura Piani, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life stars Camille Rutherford as Agathe Robinson, a French bookseller who tries her hand at writing a romance novel, and finds herself at the Jane Austen Residency, a real-life two-week writing retreat, as a result. There, she meets the handsome Oliver (Charlie Anson), who just so happens to be a descendant of Jane Austen herself. But what about Agathe’s faithful friend Felix (Pablo Pauly), with whom she shared a kiss before absconding on her trip? That sure sounds like a classic love triangle to me.
Also starring Annabelle Lengronne, Liz Crowther, Alan Fairbairn, Lola Peploe, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life sounds like a sweet, romantic, and entertaining watch for romance-lovers around the globe. Here’s what to know about where to watch the Jane Austen Wrecked My Life movie and when we expect to be able to watch the Jane Austen Wrecked My Life movie on streaming.
Jane Austen Wrecked My Life will only be available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in the U.S. wide on Friday, May 30. (In France, the movie opened on January 22.) You can find a showing near you via Fandango. Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is not yet available to watch online or on streaming, but we do expect Jane Austen Wrecked My Life on Netflix eventually.
Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is not currently streaming on Netflix or Amazon, because the movie is being released in theaters, only. Right now, the only way to watch Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is in a movie theater. That said, because Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is a Sony movie, being release via Sony Classics in the US, so we do expect to see it streaming on Netflix eventually.
You will be able to purchase Jane Austen Wrecked My Life on Prime Video eventually, when the movie becomes available to buy and rent on digital, but you will not be able to stream Jane Austen Wrecked My Life on Prime Video free with a Prime subscription any time soon. If you want to watch Jane Austen Wrecked My Life movie at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for Jane Austen Wrecked My Life to stream on Netflix.
Jane Austen Wrecked My Life will likely be on Netflix sometime in before Fall 2025. Netflix has a deal with Sony Pictures that gives the streamer the rights to the Sony movies in the “Pay 1” window, meaning the first streaming window after the film’s home media release. Another recent Sony Classic movie, I’m Still Here came to Netflix about three months after opening in theaters.
If Jane Austen Wrecked My Life follows this same release pattern, you can expect to stream the movie on Netflix around late August 2025 or early September 2025. In the meantime, you can go watch the movie in theaters.
