The 100 Nights of Hero
Film | 2025
Streaming on Paramount+ from July 1
Fantasy, romance | Runtime: 1h32
Directed by Julia Jackman | Starring Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine, Maika Monroe
Original title: 100 Nights of Hero
Country: United States
The film adapts Isabel Greenberg's graphic novel, which itself plays with the legends of Mille et Une Nuits. The story follows Cherry, a young wife married to Jérôme, and Hero, her servant, whom she loves. Their balance is upended when a cruel wager thrusts Cherry into the heart of a calculated seduction orchestrated by Manfred.
Manfred bets he can win Cherry over in a hundred nights. To protect the woman he loves, Hero tells him stories night after night. The setup gives the film a fairy-tale feel, while steering the narrative toward speech, desire, and resistance in a world run by men.
With its blend of romance, fantasy, and a satire of patriarchy, Les 100 nuits de Héro is geared more toward Paramount+ subscribers drawn to adult fables, graphic-novel adaptations, and queer storytelling. The film may be less well suited for viewers seeking a realistic contemporary romance or a straight-up adventure movie.
The official trailer for 100 Nights of Hero spotlights a castle-set universe of costumes and nested tales, with Nicholas Galitzine as Manfred, Maika Monroe as Cherry, and Emma Corrin as Hero.
