Sequel insights
Plot details and cast lineup
The first film was based on Casey McQuiston's 2019 debut novel of the same name. The sequel's plot is still under wraps, but the title suggests a possible wedding for Alex and Henry. There's no literary source to rely on as the book doesn't have a follow-up. While Perez and Galitzine have been confirmed to return, other actors from the first film are yet to be announced. The studio is looking forward to another successful chapter.
