Netflix and no chill! After the success of 2018’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, rom-com fans are rabidly awaiting the teen romance’s sequel, which doesn’t yet have a release date. Netflix announced the follow-up in a December 2018 letter to devotees of the original film. “To All The Fans I’ve Loved Before, I miss you,” the letter read. “I know it’s only been a few months and I swear I wasn’t trying to avoid you, I just didn’t know how to answer your question without lying to you. The truth isn’t always simple or straightforward — and as we all know too well, dating contracts have a way of quickly getting complicated. But, the letters are out ... it’s true. A To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before sequel is coming to Netflix.” [jwplayer bYV9eRii-l3ahXupL] As with the first movie, the sequel will be based on the YA book series of the same name by Jenny Han. In an interview with IndieWire, Han expressed hopes that a sequel to the Netflix film would draw inspiration from P.S. I Still Love You, the second book in the series. “There’s so many things in the second book that I would love to see in a sequel,” the novelist said. “The whole reason why I wrote a second book was for the character of John Ambrose McClaren, who is a fan favorite, and he’s a favorite of mine too. I would love to see that explored, and also there’s a character called Stormy that I love to write. I would love to see that.” While fans wait for more details on the sequel, check out all the existing intel in the gallery below.
