<p>Fandoms are colliding in the best possible way: Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy are gearing up to play enemies-to-lovers in the film adaptation of Sarah Hogle's beloved romance novel You Deserve Each Other.</p>
<p>The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Monday, June 30, that the Gossip Girl alum, 38, and the White Lotus actress, 35, will portray Nick and Naomi in the Amazon MGM romantic comedy based on Hogle's 2020 book. Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn — who are known for writing genre staples such as 1999's Never Been Kissed and 2009's He's Just Not That Into You — will direct the movie.</p>
<p>You Deserve Each Other has become a favorite book among romance readers since its release. The story follows Nick and Naomi, a couple who are about to get married but have fallen out of love. As the wedding approaches, the lovers-to-enemies both secretly try to get the other to call off the nuptials through a series of pranks and sabotage before ultimately finding their way back to becoming lovers again.</p>
<p>News of Badgley and Fahy's upcoming project comes as the costars teased each other in an eyebrow-raising exchange on Instagram on Monday.</p>

<p>"I don't normally do this, but my wife [Domino Kirke] and I just finished Sirens," Badgley said in the video, referring to Fahy's Netflix series that debuted in May. "Want to give her her flowers. Now obviously there's Julianne [Moore], there's Kevin [Bacon], there's Milly [Alcock] but this Meghann Fahy, this newcomer, this, like, refreshing, gawky beauty — love it. Love you."</p>
<p>Fahy responded in the comments section, "Penn! This is so kind. Thank you. Tell Domino I say hi. And that her taste is flawless," to which Badgley replied, "Our* taste. Dom says hi!"</p>
<p>"Oops haha. Gawky tho," Fahy continued, adding a thinking-face emoji.</p>
<p>Badgley then doubled down on his description, writing, "I meant it as a compliment! Long arms are so gorgeous but historically less featured."</p>
<p>Fahy jokingly took offense to Badgley's remarks. "Chill on the body stuff," she responded, to which he retorted, "Whoa I've obviously been very supportive and complimentary but this feels like a trap."</p>
<p>In her final comment, Fahy referenced Badgley's hit Netflix series, You, in which he played stalker Joe Goldberg from 2018 to 2025.</p>
<p>"There you go again with that trapping thing," she quipped. "Heard you did a lot of that on your show. I never watched it."</p>
<p>If Badgley and Fahy's back-and-forth on social media is any indication of their You Deserve Each Other characters' sizzling banter, fans are in for a real treat.</p>
