The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Dream Cast

Netflix announced in March 2022 that it’s producing a movie version of the bestselling novel “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The book, released in 2017, became a major bestseller, thanks in part to amazing word of mouth on social media. On June 29, the streamer announced that “Russian Doll” co-creator Leslye Headland will direct the film with Liz Tigelaar handling the script, so it seemed like a casting announcement was surely imminent.

However, there still isn’t an official cast, so we have a lot of ideas about who we’d like to see star as the titular lead and her seven husbands.

As readers know, in the book, Evelyn Hugo, now 79, asks magazine writer Monique Grant to help her write her life story. Monique is suspicious as to why a famous actor wants to work with her, but she agrees to listen. Evelyn recounts her life, from growing up with Cuban parents in the Bronx to moving to Hollywood as a teenager to finding fame and fortune — and love. Though she’s well-known for having married seven men, Evelyn reveals the real love of her life is actually fellow actor Celia St. James. The story is interconnected in small ways with some of Reid’s other Hollywood-set books, like “Daisy Jones and the Six” — which has its own on-screen adaptation.

While we wait for the official “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” casting news, here are some ideas we have for Evelyn, Celia, Monique, and the rest of the cast.
