‘Shadowhunters’ Star Leads New Enemies-to-Lovers Romantasy Rom-Com ‘Romantasy & Ruin’

Collider exclusively reveals first details on Romantasy & Ruin, a new romantic comedy set in the cutthroat world of romantasy publishing. The film stars a lead actor known for the TV series Shadowhunters, bringing built-in genre fan appeal. The story follows an enemies-to-lovers arc, a beloved trope in both romance and fantasy circles, which could attract readers of authors like Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. By blending publishing industry satire with heartfelt romance, the movie aims to capture the booming romantasy market, which has seen explosive growth on BookTok and bestseller lists. The project’s meta angle—a rom-com about the business of romantasy—sets it apart from straightforward adaptations, potentially drawing both book lovers and film audiences. With production details still emerging, the film positions itself as a timely, self-aware entry in a genre that shows no signs of slowing down.
