Overview
- Green announced the novel Tuesday on the YouTube channel he shares with his brother, confirming a Sept. 22, 2026 publication by Dutton Books, a Penguin Random House imprint.
- Hollywood, Ending follows two young actors, Kai and Juniper, whose breakout biopic Andy Warhol Never Gets Old upends their lives as they fall for each other under intense public attention.
- Penguin Random House describes the book as a dual-perspective look at celebrity and an unflinching study of the attention economy that now reaches far beyond movie stars.
- Green traced the idea to a story he read on semi-secret livestreams early in the pandemic, shaping a narrative about love, loss, and life lived in public online.
- He said he has worked on the manuscript since finishing Turtles All the Way Down in 2017 and had doubted releasing it, as he later signaled a move away from YA during a 2024 Stanford talk.
