Starring Margaret Qualley, Gabriel Basso, Aaron Pierre, and Patrick Schwarzenegger, *Love of Your Life* follows a woman through love, loss, travel, and the sometimes messy process of figuring out what comes next. The movie will be released in **select theaters on October 7, 2026**, before becoming available to stream globally on **Prime Video on October 14, 2026**. Here's a spoiler-free look at the story, the *Love of Your Life* cast, and some of the beautiful locations that help bring Maya's journey to life. ![Love of Your Life movie poster starring MarLove of Your Life movie poster starring Margaret Qualley on Prime Videogaret Qualley on Prime Video](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b9/55/b955f19e-2d72-43e0-ad6e-7ea2d292618a/content/images/2026/09/love-of-your-life-amazon-prime-video-poster.jpg) ## What Is Love of Your Life About? At the center of *Love of Your Life* is Maya, played by Margaret Qualley. When we first meet Maya, she's a nurse in her twenties living in Boston. A chance encounter with Charlie, played by [Gabriel Basso](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel%5FBasso), quickly develops into a sweeping romance and a future Maya hadn't necessarily imagined for herself. But life doesn't always follow the plan. When that future is suddenly changed, Maya finds herself facing an entirely different path. Her journey eventually takes her far beyond Boston as she wrestles with love, loss, identity, and what it means to move forward without forgetting the life she had before. The movie follows Maya across several years, giving audiences the chance to see not only her relationships change but Maya herself change along with them. ## Margaret Qualley Leads the Love of Your Life Cast [Margaret Qualley](https://letterboxd.com/actor/margaret-qualley/) takes the lead as Maya, and she's certainly no stranger to emotionally complicated characters. Qualley has appeared in movies and television shows including *The Substance*, *Maid*, *Poor Things*, and *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*. For *Love of Your Life*, she plays a character at several different stages of adulthood. Maya begins the story as a young Boston nurse, but her experiences eventually push her into a much larger world. Qualley even spoke with emergency-room nurses who worked during the COVID era while preparing for the role. ![Margaret Qualley as Maya and Gabriel Basso as Charlie in Love of Your Life](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b9/55/b955f19e-2d72-43e0-ad6e-7ea2d292618a/content/images/2026/09/love-of-your-life-margaret-qualley-gabriel-basso.jpg) ## Gabriel Basso, Aaron Pierre and Patrick Schwarzenegger Join the Story Three of the most recognizable names surrounding Qualley are Gabriel Basso, Aaron Pierre, and Patrick Schwarzenegger. **Gabriel Basso plays Charlie**, a graduate student Maya meets in Boston. Basso will probably be immediately recognizable to Netflix viewers as Peter Sutherland from *The Night Agent*. **Aaron Pierre plays Felix**, a charming British bachelor Maya meets later in her journey. Felix is also a father to a young daughter and becomes an important part of Maya learning whether it's possible to open herself up to love again. Pierre has quickly become a familiar face thanks to projects including *Rebel Ridge* and his role as the voice of Mufasa in Disney's *Mufasa: The Lion King*. Then there's **Patrick Schwarzenegger as Jason**, Maya's best friend from college. And yes, if the last name sounds familiar, [Patrick Schwarzenegger](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/patrick%5Fschwarzenegger) is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. Patrick has been steadily building an acting career of his own and recently gained plenty of attention for his performance in Season 3 of *The White Lotus*. ![Catherine Keener as Ruth in the Amazon movie Love of Your Life](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b9/55/b955f19e-2d72-43e0-ad6e-7ea2d292618a/content/images/2026/09/catherine-keener-love-of-your-life-ruth.jpg) ## Catherine Keener and the Supporting Cast The movie also brings veteran actress **Catherine Keener** into Maya's story as Ruth, Charlie's mother. Keener has a long list of memorable roles, including *Being John Malkovich*, *The 40-Year-Old Virgin*, *Capote*, and *Get Out*. Tamara Lawrance and Corey Johnson also appear in the film. Behind the camera, *Love of Your Life* is directed by Rachel Morrison and written by Julia Cox. Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson serve as producers. ## Where Does Love of Your Life Take Place? The setting may end up being one of the most interesting parts of the movie. Maya's story begins in **Boston**, but her changing life eventually takes her overseas. Portugal becomes particularly important as Maya leaves her old life behind and begins living as a digital nomad. The production was filmed over roughly 40 days, with filming taking place in **Boston, New Orleans, and Portugal**, including [Lisbon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisbon) and the Algarve. Rather than relying entirely on sets to recreate the locations, the production actually traveled to these places. Director Rachel Morrison has explained that she wanted the different cities to almost become characters of their own. That should give *Love of Your Life* a much larger visual feel than your typical romantic drama. ![Patrick Schwarzenegger as Jason in Love of Your Life](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b9/55/b955f19e-2d72-43e0-ad6e-7ea2d292618a/content/images/2026/09/patrick-schwarzenegger-love-of-your-life-jason.jpg) ## When Can You Watch Love of Your Life? You won't have to wait too much longer. *Love of Your Life* opens in **select theaters October 7, 2026**. One week later, on **October 14, 2026**, the movie will begin streaming globally on **Prime Video**. The film runs approximately **1 hour and 46 minutes** and is rated **R for some sexuality and brief nudity**, so despite the romantic storyline, this isn't being marketed as a family movie for younger viewers. For adults looking for a romantic drama with some emotional weight behind it, though, *Love of Your Life* certainly has an interesting cast and premise. ## Love of Your Life FAQ ### Who plays Maya in Love of Your Life? **Margaret Qualley plays Maya**, a young nurse from Boston whose life takes several unexpected turns involving romance, loss, travel, and self-discovery. ### Who plays Charlie in Love of Your Life? **Gabriel Basso plays Charlie**, the graduate student who meets Maya in Boston and becomes an important part of her life.
