Pucker up, Kissing Booth<\/em> fans, because a sequel is on its way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A second installment of the popular Netflix original movie is happening, starring Joey King<\/strong> and Joel Courtney<\/strong> as the two best friends who made some unbreakable rules that got pretty broken, along with Jacob Elordi<\/strong> as the older brother who was the cause of the broken rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n

King tweeted a cute teaser for the sequel on Valentine’s Day, saying “YUP!!! WE ARE GETTING A SEQUEL!!!” The teaser was just a video of King and Courtney building another kissing booth before adding a 2 to the title, so it didn’t really give us any clue of what might actually happen in The Kissing Booth 2<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The first movie, which ended with Elle (King) riding off on Noah’s (Elordi) motorcycle after he left for Harvard\u00a0with a kind of “anything could happen” attitude, was based on the book by Beth Reekles<\/strong>. The book didn’t used to have a sequel for a second movie to be based on, but Reekles just announced on Thursday that a second book is coming in January 2020, along with a novella featuring the first chapter of the sequel, coming May 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But for big fans of Elle and Noah, the details of the second book could mean we’re in for a bit of a devastating follow up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The Book Synopsis<\/h3>\n

The Kissing Booth 2: Going the Distance<\/em> is set to be released in January 2020, and its synopsis is worrying, especially since author Beth Reekles confirmed on Twitter that the movie will be based on the book:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elle Evans seems to have finally tamed hotter-than-hot bad boy Noah Flynn, but now they’re facing a new challenge. Noah’s 3,000 miles away at Harvard, which means they’re officially a long-distance couple – and it’s tough. After all, there’s only so much texts and calls can satisfy – and when Elle sees a post which suggests Noah’s getting friendly with someone else, she’s devastated.<\/p>\n

On top of that, it’s hard to ignore new boy Levi. He’s gentle, sweet, cute – and definitely interested in Elle.<\/p>\n

With her heart on the line, what’s a girl to do?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And the Other Book Synopsis<\/h3>\n

Beth Reekles has already written and posted a novella that takes place in the summer before Noah heads off to college, called The Beach House<\/em>. The novella will be officially published on May 11, and will feature the first chapter of Going the Distance<\/em>. (It’s worth noting that at May 11 is also the one year anniversary of the release of the first movie.)<\/p>\n

Here’s the official synopsis:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every year Elle Evans spends a perfect summer at Lee and Noah’s beach house – there’s sea, sun, and plenty of flirting.<\/p>\n

Elle can’t wait to hit the beach again – but this year, things are a little different.<\/p>\n

Elle and hotter-than-hot Noah are now officially dating – it’s amazing, and Elle’s never been happier. But Noah’s leaving for Harvard at the end of the summer – and what will happen to them then?<\/p>\n

Elle and Lee have always been BFFs – and no one knows her better. But with Lee’s new girlfriend Rachel coming along this summer, can everything stay the same?<\/p>\n

Elle’s determined to have one last perfect summer with her two favorite boys\u2014before she kisses goodbye to the beach house forever…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Release Date<\/h3>\n

There’s no release date yet for the movie, but a January 2020 release date for the book gives us a feeling that we might have this new movie just in time for Valentine’s Day 2020. It’s less likely that it will be released alongside The Beach House<\/em> in May, though according to IMDb, the movie is currently filming.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Into the Sunset<\/h3>\n

The book’s synopsis features a new guy named Levi and some unnamed lady who comes between Elle and Noah, but Joey King is hoping for a happily ever after.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If there was a sequel, my prediction would be hopefully Elle and Noah stay together,” she told Seventeen<\/a> back in June. “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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

King, Elordi, and Courtney are all officially taking part in the new movie, and Reekles\u00a0 confirmed<\/a> the cast of the first movie will also be in the second,\u00a0so we’re hoping that means Molly Ringwald is also on board.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
