To All the Boys Sequel Is Officially a Go at Netflix

A sequel for To All the Boys Ive Loved Before, Netflixs hit rom-com adaptation of Jenny Hans novel, is officially a go. Han confirmed the news on Wednesday, sharing a cutesy video of film stars Lana Condor and Noah Centineo making the announcement.

“I am so excited! It is officially official!” Condor says.

“Bring on the sequel,” Centineo adds.

A sequel always seemed likely if the film became a hit. There are two other books in Hans series (P.S. I Still Love You and Always and Forever, Lara Jean), both of which follow the romantic misadventures of precocious teen Lara Jean (Condor) and popular, butt-pocket-twirling Peter (Centineo). In the announcement video, Condor also teases incoming character John Ambrose McClaren, another boy who gets tangled up in Lara Jeans romantic drama. As eagle-eyed fans discovered, the character makes a brief appearance in To All the Boys, but Condor implies in the announcement video that the role has been re-cast.

The film was a runaway hit upon its release in August, capping Netflixs triumphant summer rom-com renaissance. Though well never know the films true viewership, since Netflix keeps that precious data to itself, it was clear from the critical acclaim, social-media attention, and instant status boost to Condor and Centineo that the streamer had a hit on its hands. A release date for the sequel has not yet been confirmed.

Dave Chappelle

You may remember Chappelle better than most of the other actors on this list; he played Joe Foxs best friend, Kevin, and therefore logged a little more screen time than, say, Chris Messina (whom well get to in a few). Chappelles shining moment? Being the first to find out that Joes online crush, “Shopgirl,” is, in fact, his competitor, Kathleen Kelly. As he tells Joe seconds later, “If you dont like Kathleen Kelly, I can tell you right now: you aint gonna like this girl.”Photo: From Warner Bros/Everett Collection.

Sara Ramirez

Before she became one of Seattles premier orthopedic surgeons on Greys Anatomy, Sara Ramirez played a woman who worked at Zabars, facing a cashiers worst nightmare: a customer (Ryans Kathleen) who wants to pay with a credit card, despite being in a cash-only line.

Steve Zahn

As you may remember, Kathleen had a couple co-workers at The Shop Around the Corner—both of whom try to help her figure out who her Godfather-obsessed chat-room beau might be. One of them? A shaggy-maned Steve Zahn.Photo: From Warner Bros/Everett Collection.

Jane Adams

Who better to lure Greg Kinnear away from Ryan than another brainy, neurotic woman who looks great in tights and turtlenecks? Just a year before her high-strung turn on Frasier, Adams appears ever so briefly, and uncredited, as TV host Sydney Anne, who has a not-very-professional crush on Kinnears Frank Navasky.

Jeffrey Scaperrotta

As the young Matt Fox, Scaperrotta gets to deliver one of the most enjoyable and quotable lines of the movie: F-O-X. He would go on to play Elliot Stablers son Dickie in the much less family-friendly Law & Order: S.V.U.Photo: From Warner Bros/Everett Collection.

Jean Stapleton

All in the Family star Stapleton, who started out in musical theater, played Birdie Conrad—whose name is the mirror image of the Elvis-esque heartthrob in Bye Bye Birdie. Only Nora and Delia Ephron know if this is some obscure reference to the fact that actress Maureen Stapleton, commonly thought to be Jeans sister but actually no relation to her, appeared in the 1963 Birdie film.Photo: From Warner Bros/Everett Collection.

Chris Messina

Both this gallery and the movie saved the best for last. A fresh-faced Chris Messina pops up toward the end as a clueless Fox books employee who doesnt know Ballet Shoes from Skating Shoes. Many years later, in the Season 2 finale of Messinas sitcom The Mindy Project, show-runner and die-hard Youve Got Mail fan Mindy Kaling cast Messina as the NY152 to her Shopgirl in a half-hour homage to all things Ephron.PreviousNext
