The Kissing Booth Sequel Is Happening: Here's Everything We Know


Last year, Netflix blessed us all by bringing back the rom com. (Not that it was ever truly gone for us real stans, but at least they’re cool again.) The streaming service did this by premiering a slew of instant classics, including Set It Up, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and Sierra Burgess Is a Loser. But there was one film in particular that kicked off this rom-com renaissance: The Kissing Booth, which became the most rewatched movie on all of Netflix for 2018, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

For the uninitiated, The Kissing Booth is based on Beth Reekles’s YA novel of the same name. It follows Elle Evans (Joey King) and her BFF Lee (Joey Courtney) during their junior year of high school. These two do everything together—from Dance Dance Revolution, to stuffing themselves with cheeseburgers—but there’s one thing they can’t bond over: Elle’s secret, massive crush on Lee’s older brother, Noah (Jacob Elordi).

And for those of you who couldn’t get enough of Elle, Lee, and Noah’s story, Netflix just announced a Valentine’s Day miracle: Production has started on a sequel for The Kissing Booth.

Here’s everything we know about it so far, and we’ll update this post as more details come in. But first, watch the teaser trailer below:

The director: Vince Marcello, who led the first film, is back onboard to direct the second.

The cast: Joey King, Joel Courtney, and Jacob Elordi are attached to star in the sequel. King had previously told TV Guide, “Right now, we’re not really sure. [The cast] would love for that to happen, but everything is still up in the air. We’re still waiting on [Netflix],” so it doesn’t come as that much of a surprise they signed on for the second film.

The plot: Details for the plot are still under warps, but King shared her dream premise for the sequel. “If there was a sequel, my prediction would be hopefully Elle and Noah stay together,” she told Seventeen. “Elle goes to visit Noah at college. Of course, there has to be some crazy things that get out of hand, but I don’t know. I really hope that a lot of the original characters, if there was a sequel, like the OMG Girls and Tuppen and all those amazing characters would definitely be in it.”

As for the fate of Elle and Noah’s relationship, King said, “Of course, I think everyone, including myself, wants to see Elle and Noah stay together. I feel like Elle and Noah should stay together and get into the theme park business together and be a power couple who builds theme parks.”

Bachelor in Paradise's Tia Booth on Her Breakup With Colton Underwood: 'We're Not for Each Other'


Considering he originally wanted Tia to be the Bachelorette, you’d think Colton Underwood would have been happier on Bachelor in Paradise. After all, Tia was there and ready to commit to a life played out on Instagram together. But Paradise is never that easy, is it? Just a few episodes after Colton asked Tia to be his girlfriend, he realized he wasn’t ready to be in a relationship with her. Oof.

And now, he’s going to be the next Bachelor. After the news broke, Tia tweeted him congratulations, writing, “I hope your season is full of protein powder, puppies, and naps!” But there’s no denying the breakup was hard on her. So in the two months since Tia walked out of Paradise, does she still have romantic feelings for Colton? Is there more reality TV in her future? Here, she tells all.

Glamour: How are you doing?

Tia Booth: I’m good. Honestly, I’m really in a good place. I think Colton needs to find himself before he can let someone in who’s going to make him happy in a relationship. That’s what I’ve told him: that he needs to focus on himself and not try to have this perfect exterior. We talked about it as we were leaving [Paradise], and he was telling me, “You are someone who knows what you want, and I’m just kind of coming into that, like coming into my own.” I think he’s really got to get there before he can truly be happy with someone.

Glamour: You’re obviously in a better place now, but that was a hard breakup to watch. What happened after you left Paradise?

Tia: Yeah, that breakup was very difficult. One, because I didn’t see it coming, and two, because we both tried so hard to make it work. We wanted it to work so badly, but you can’t force something that’s not there. When I got back to the hotel, the producers told me, “We’ll let you call your mom if that will help you.” I said, “I can’t even call her right now because I would just be emotional and crying the whole time. I want to get over that first before I even talk to my family.” But when we got our phones back, Colton and I caught up and checked in on each other—just like we always have, and just like we always will do. I think that goes to show we did build this relationship on a friendship; if nothing else, we have that friendship. I think that helped us both, to be able to talk it out immediately and move forward from there.

Glamour: Do you still feel something for him romantically?

Tia: No. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Colton, just not in a romantic way. Colton is a great guy. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him or there was anything wrong with me; I just think that we’re not for each other.

Glamour: Raven came to visit you during Paradise. How did she react when you told her what happened with Colton?

Tia: [Laughs] I said, “Just to let you know, I’m on my way home.” She was shocked. She could not believe it, especially because the date that we had with her and Adam in Mexico was several days before [Colton and I broke up]. And I had to catch up with her on a Twitter feud that she was having [with Bekah Martinez] where she was defending me. We kind of caught up with that, and I let her know I was doing OK. She always calls and checks on me. She’s super supportive and always says the right things, so I always talk to her immediately.

Glamour: What’s next for you?

Tia: I’m not really sure what’s next for me. I’m still working and living my normal life in Arkansas, but I’m open to a relationship. I would love to meet the one and have a serious relationship with someone in whatever capacity that is.

Glamour: Would you sign up for a stint on a Bachelor franchise again, whether it’s Winter Games or Paradise?

Tia: I don’t know about more in the Bachelor franchise. Obviously, I love these people—that’s why I keep coming back—but honestly, leaving another reunion single kind of sucks. It wears on you knowing that you put yourself out there and tried it again and you’re still in this same position. I always learn so much about myself through this process and through this experience, but it can kind of wear on you.

Colton Underwood Admits He Wanted Tia Booth to Be The Bachelorette: 'We Needed More Time'


The Bachelorette‘s Colton Underwood had one of the more emotional moments on tonight’s Men Tell All, with the focus less on his feelings for former contestant Tia and more about his decision not to have sex. “People think I’m less of a man because I haven’t had sex, and that’s hard for me to hear,” he said as he teared up. “I feel like a normal guy, so it’s hard when you hear all the negative things. It’s my choice and hopefully it’s something that’s respected from women and in the public.”

After the show taped, it was clear that Underwood was still affected by what happened on stage—especially because of a comment fellow contestant Jean Blanc made about Underwood’s virginity. “I will never talk to him again,” Underwood tells us. “His comment was disgusting and uncalled for.”

But with his journey about to continue on Bachelor in Paradise, there’s obviously more drama in store for the former football player. After all, his former fling Tia Booth will joining him in Mexico. “It’s emotional,” he says of the experience. “It’s full of unexpected surprises.”

Until then, Underwood shares more about his experience on The Bachelorette. Read on.

Things got emotional on Men Tell All tonight. How do you feel now that it’s over?

Colton Underwood: I still obviously feel a little emotional. I didn’t have plans to talk about my virginity because I feel like it was played out and it’s been a hot topic for the last couple weeks. [My virginity is] never easy to talk about, but anytime I do, it helps me grow as a person. So, I do feel good about that. It was hard for me to even bring it up at first on the show. I kept beating around the bush by saying I’m not that experienced. Now I can finally say, “I’m a virgin. I haven’t had sex” without a tremble in my voice.

Before you filmed the season, did you know this was going to become a topic of conversation?

Colton: I didn’t have a game plan with my virginity going into the show. I didn’t know if I was going to bring it up. When I did bring it up in the Bahamas, I wanted to make sure that [Becca] knew before she made her decision on whose family she wanted to meet. As hard as that conversation was, it was so good for me to actually say it out loud and go from six people to now six million people knowing it. People can agree or disagree with me, but hopefully some of them have a respect for me and my choice.

You and Jean Blanc had a tense moment during Men Tell All after he insulted your virginity. Did you address him after?

Colton: Jean Blanc is one of the guys that I never talked to after the show and, moving forward, I will never talk to. I think his comment was disgusting and uncalled for. It was so inappropriate in 2018—in the year of the women—and [he’s] going to be disrespectful to a whole gender? He’s going to use that word to describe the female anatomy and to call me out? And think he’s doing something positive [by saying that]? It is what it is, but I’m never going to talk to the dude again, so I don’t care.

Moving on: Was there any part of you that had hoped Tia would be the Bachelorette?

Colton: I’m not going to lie, yeah. The one thing that hindered Tia and I’s relationship and played a factor into it…it was hard for me to get a read off of that weekend that we spent together, whether we could be good for each other. She was going back to Arkansas, and I was going back to Colorado. We needed more time. I needed more time in that relationship to see [where things could go]. I was very up and front and honest, like, “I hope it’s you. I’m just letting you know I’m going on.” She knew from day two of us talking that I was a finalist for the show, and I said how cool would it be [if it was Tia]. When I found out it was Becca, [Tia] said, “Becca’s a great person, and I can’t wait for you to see your journey and hear about your experience. I’m so jealous. That’s awesome. You’re going to be with my friends.” That was it. It was very supportive. Tia and I’s relationship moved more into a friendship those last two weeks leading up to me leaving for filming.

You’ll be on Bachelor in Paradise with Tia. How did that go?

Colton: Paradise is emotional. I think there’s a lot of conversations that need to be had. It’s full of unexpected surprises that are both good, happy, sad, funny, all the emotions. I felt everything in Paradise.
