Hulu has released the final trailer for Swiped, an upcoming biographical drama from filmmaker Rachel Lee Goldenberg that dives into the dramatic, inspiring true story of Whitney Wolfe Herd — the visionary tech entrepreneur behind Bumble. The film, drawing from Wolfe’s real-life journey of being pushed out of Tinder and going on to disrupt the dating app industry, presents an empowering portrait of resilience, innovation, and female-driven leadership.
The story follows Whitney Wolfe (portrayed by Lily James) as she navigates the brutal realities of Silicon Valley’s male-dominated tech culture. Frustrated with her ouster from Tinder, she refuses to back down, instead using her ingenuity and determination to create a new dating app where women take charge — a bold move that redefined the online dating landscape. From ideation to global recognition, Swiped charts Wolfe’s extraordinary rise to becoming the youngest self-made female billionaire.
The ensemble cast supports James in delivering this high-energy story: Clea DuVall, Dermot Mulroney, Pierson Fode, Joely Fisher, Myhala, and Dan Stevens round out the lineup. Each performance adds dimension to Whitney’s struggle against systemic biases, institutional obstacles, and personal challenges, while also showcasing the vibrant tech startup culture of the 2010s.
Directed by Goldenberg, with a screenplay penned by Bill Parker, Goldenberg, and Kim Caramele, the film blends urgency, wit, and inspiration to craft a narrative that celebrates ambition and empowerment. From boardroom tensions to app-launch breakthroughs, the trailer suggests a mix of sharp drama, energy, and uplifting momentum.
Slated for release on September 19, 2025, Swiped promises to be both a crowd-pleasing watch and a timely story about carving one’s path against resistance. With Hulu backing the project, the film looks ready to captivate audiences and spark conversations about gender, power, and perseverance in the ever-changing world of tech.
