The planned "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" sequel is going to get a new title. Bob Bakish, the CEO of Viacom Paramount that's producing the movie for Netflix, confirmed the title change.
Based on the bestselling book written by Jenny Han, "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" actually had a published follow-up in "P.S. I Still Love You." But Bakish told Deadline that the second film might get a "sexier" title, suggesting that the movie might not carry the same heading as the published source. However, Bakish also said that the second offering will still closely follow the same plot as the book series.
Han revealed last fall that the cast of the Netflix hit movie was keen to come back and do the sequel. At that time, director Susan Johnson also confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the cast is contractually attached to do a sequel, should this get a green light from Netflix.
"To All The Boys I've Loved Before" launched on the streaming platform on Aug. 17 to a glowing response thus the teen love story quickly became a summer hit. Viewers, especially the young adult audience, could not help but rave about the story of Lara Jean (Condor), whose secret letters to her crushes were accidentally mailed to the boys, including Peter (Centineo).
Han wrote a trilogy following Lara Jean and Peter's love story. This means that after the story on "P.S. I Still Love You," Netflix might still do the third movie based on "Always and Forever, Lara Jean."
Meanwhile, "P.S. I Still Love You" finds Lara Jean becoming a couple with Peter but she also develops a friendship with her other crush, John Ambrose McClaren. As they become pen pals, friction further escalates in Lara Jean's relationship with Peter when she finds out he has been hanging out with his ex-girlfriend, Genevieve. They break up towards the end of the story, but the book closes with Peter professing his big love for Lara Jean.
Fans of the Netflix hit believe that the sequel will feature a new John Ambrose. The character was briefly featured towards the end of "To All The Boys," but the role has a bigger storyline in the sequel. Jordan Burtchett was credited for playing the character, but when Condor announced that the sequel would be coming, she hinted that the part might have been recast.
Netflix did not yet confirm a new cast list or when filming for the "To All The Boys" sequel should start. The movie's release date has also not been revealed as of press time.
