Jane Austen Wrecked My Life had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2024. Following this, the film was released in France on January 22, 2025. Sony Pictures is set to release the film theatrically in select cities in the United States on May 23 and nationwide on May 30, 2025.
In an interview with Under The Radar, published on May 22, 2025, Laura Piani opened up about how the cast played a major role in getting the chemistry of the storyline right.
"Camille was my first choice. Once she accepted the role, I built the trio around her. I looked for the two men after I had Camille. I wanted Felix, the French friend, to be very joyful, open, sparkling, flamboyant—funny, because the friendship is there. They could be almost childish with each other, make jokes, and all that. So I wasn’t looking for obvious chemistry between them from the beginning," she stated.
She also said that she wanted an English actor to play Oliver, and Charlie Anson fit the exact ideal she had in mind.
"He had exactly what I was looking for. He’s very clever. He studied at Cambridge and had a very classical formation as an English actor. He’s extremely cultivated, educated, very gentle and delicate—more reserved," she added.

Before she leaves for the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England, Agathe ends up kissing her best friend. At the residency, she starts working on her book while navigating her love life.
"I believe that some books become part of our lives because they reveal to us our true nature. Literature is like an ambulance speeding through the night to save someone," she states.
However, she also ends up falling for Jane Austen's "great great great great nephew," complicating matters for her. Caught in a very unexpected romantic triangle, she must overcome her insecurities and navigate life to achieve her dreams.
