Love Me Love Me: Prime Video unveils the Italian romance

Prime Video will add to its international catalogue on February 13, 2026 with Love Me Love Me, an Italian Original film shot in English. Based on the first book of Stefania S.'s popular literary saga, this young adult romance is a joint production between Lotus Production (Leone Film Group) and Amazon MGM Studios, with support from WEBTOON Productions. The film features an international cast led by Mia Jenkins, Pepe Barroso Silva, and Luca Melucci, alongside Andrea Guo, Michelangelo Vizzini, Madior Fall, and Vanessa Donghi.

Based on a wildly popular novel that has garnered over 23 million reads on Wattpad and is now published by Sperling & Kupfer, Love Me Love Me continues the trend of adapting online writing platform romances for the big screen. This narrative breeding ground has already been tapped by both cinema and streaming services in recent years.

The story follows June, a teenage girl haunted by her brother’s disappearance, who leaves her familiar surroundings to start anew in Milan. Enrolling in an elite international school, she seeks to rebuild her life and find a fresh sense of stability within a setting as challenging as it is captivating. Her transition into this new chapter is eased by a comforting encounter, with Will, a model student and a steady presence at the school.

However, this fragile stability begins to crack with the arrival of James, Will’s best friend. Charismatic, unpredictable, and troubled, he lives a double life away from the classroom, taking part in underground MMA fights. Between June and James, a tense rivalry gradually shifts into an uncontrollable attraction. The young woman finds herself faced with a deeply personal choice: emotional security or a passionate connection fierce enough to challenge everything she thought she knew.

The project is part of Prime Video’s strategy to develop European productions with global appeal. Filmed in Italy but designed for an international audience, the movie is primarily in English and features a diverse, multicultural cast. The production is led by Lotus Production, a subsidiary of Leone Film Group, which has a track record of creating Italian films for worldwide audiences, in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios.

Love Me Love Me also fits into a prominent trend in contemporary young adult fiction, blending romance, emotional drama, and darker themes such as grief, recovery, and the search for identity. Set against the backdrop of Milan, with its mix of elite schools and underground worlds, the story explores social and emotional contrasts that add depth to the narrative.

With its romantic and dramatic tone, the film primarily targets teenagers and young adults, audiences familiar with stories of forbidden passions and love triangles. It echoes works from the same genre, where intense emotions clash with structured, sometimes oppressive settings, all while incorporating visual and narrative styles tailored for streaming platforms.
