Set to premiere globally on September 26, the movie promises a soulful, Southern spin on one of the Bible\u2019s most enduring love stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">In this modern-day reimagining, Ruth &amp; Boaz follows the journey of a young woman, played by Serayah McNeill, who walks away from the glitter and chaos of Atlanta\u2019s booming music scene to take care of a grieving widow in a quiet Tennessee town. What begins as a selfless act of compassion slowly becomes a life-altering experience filled with healing, rediscovery, and the gentle unfolding of unexpected love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Opposite McNeill is Tyler Lepley, who steps into the role of the brooding but kind-hearted Boaz \u2014 a man grounded in faith and scarred by his own losses. Together, the two lead a cast that blends spiritual depth with heartfelt storytelling, creating what producers call \u201ca love letter to redemption, community, and grace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">With Perry\u2019s signature emotional layers and Franklin\u2019s spiritual insight, Ruth &amp; Boaz is shaping up to be more than just a film \u2014 it\u2019s a modern parable about second chances and divine timing, wrapped in Southern charm and soul-stirring performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Mark your calendars. This fall, love and faith meet on screen in a powerful new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Here\u2019s the first look at Ruth &amp; Boaz!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Here\u2019s a first look at RUTH &amp;
