What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and just a few days after The
Kissing Booth 2 dropped on Netflix, another major surprise was dropped as the sequel is
set to become a trilogy come 2021.
If you couldn’t get enough of the Kissing Booth’s highly anticipated sequel that dropped
last weekend, you’re in luck because Netflix just announced that a third Kissing Booth
movie is officially in the works and will be available to stream come 2021.
The news dropped Sunday during Netflix's #TKBFanFest live stream, as well as on Netflix’s official
Instagram account, which posted a sneak peek of the third installment… and YES, after
much speculation, it looks like Jacob Elordi HAS signed on to reprise his role as Noah
Flynn once again.
In the teaser, Elle gets a call from Harvard where Noah attends, when she denies it and
attempts to distract Noah by seducing him back into the house.
Oh…”
“Is everything okay?”
“Yeah.
Fine.
Umm, in fact…
*whispers*” “Yes, would like that very much.”
“Yeah, thought you might.”
BUT, you guys, I come bearing even more good news, as it was also revealed that the third
film was actually secretly shot at the same time as the sequel, so filming for the third
movie is already complete.
The film is reportedly in post-production, and will premiere on Netflix in 2021 as the
entire cast, including Joey King, Joel Courtney, Taylor Zakhar Perez, Molly Ringwald, and YES,
Jacob Elordi are all set to return.
As fans who tuned into The Kissing Booth 2 know, the film was left on a massive cliffhanger,
which led many to believe that there would be a third film in the works.
And before we go on, we will be sharing some slight spoilers ahead, so proceed only if
you choose to!
Ok, giving you a few seconds after that slight spoiler warning….
Alright, lets go.
In the film, Elle finds herself in the center of a love triangle while Noah is away at college,
as we are introduced to the school’s new heartthrob Marco, played by Taylor Zakhar
Perez.
Fans were left wondering where Elle would attend college -- whether it be with Noah
at Harvard, or ultimately deciding on the fate of her relationship by choosing a different
school.
So it looks like we’ll finally get some answers, but it doesn’t exactly look like
it’ll be an easy decision based on the teaser.
Fans seemed to have mixed reviews upon hearing the news about the making of a third movie.
Some are eagerly awaiting answers as to what Elle will choose to do, like this user who
said, “Soooo The Kissing Booth 3 is coming out next right????
Cuz homegirl didn't choose a college and Marco be plotting so.....”
Others were concerned about the fact that Elle literally just ignored a phone call from
HARVARD UNIVERSITY!
One user wrote, “Me: struggling to enter a decent college.
Elle: rejects a call from Harvard.
Like what the…”
But many were pretty impressed about the fact that Netflix dropped a teaser for the third
movie when many haven’t even had the chance to watch the second.
One user wrote, “At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix dropped the trailer
for Kissing Booth 5 next week.”
Joey King, who executive produced the second film, had a different take on the third movie,
as she opened up about the cast’s excitement in returning, saying QUOTE, “From the first
movie to the second movie just coming out just on Friday, I mean the explosion of love
has been so real.
It's because of everyone on here that all of this has happened.”
However, fans were left wondering whether or not Jacob Elordi would even reprise his
role in the second film last year after so many people thought he appeared to look “miserable”
in the film’s teaser.
Jacob has also revealed some concerning comments regarding his role and how “exhausting”
it was to play a high school student as a 23-year-old.
While talking to GQ Australia about reprising his role in the second film last year, Jacob
revealed QUOTE, “Nothing against that, but I’ve sort of done it, and it would be really
hard for me to find joy in that.
I’m also getting older now, and I’m starting to look older, so to keep going back to high
school is kind of taxing.”
Although Jacob will still be reprising his role, fans have their eye on Taylor Zakhar
Perez, who plays Marco.
In fact, many are speculating that there could be more to Joey and Taylor’s onscreen relationship
after spotting them getting cozy in a few recent social media posts.
In one post, Joey shared a sweet photo of her and Taylor, saying that she got tested
for coronavirus just so that they could hug.
many sweet photos from his time filming The Kissing Booth 2, like this series of photos
of he and Joey posted just yesterday with the caption, “This was one of my all-time
favorite moments shooting KB2.
So much love.”
Although Joey was recently linked to “The Act” producer, Steven Piet, as of last September,
however, it’s unclear whether or not they’re still together.
Taylor has revealed he is currently single, and by the general consensus of Marco we’re
gathering, it seems fans are totally here for the onscreen chemistry to become a real-life
romance.
