It’s not like we didn’t know that To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before was getting a sequel. Not only was it one of Netflix’s most watched pieces of content all year and a full-on cultural phenomenon, but hey, there are three books.
It was sort of officially announced last month, and this morning Lana Condor helped make it OFFICIALLY official with a fully adorable announcement video.
It’s got everything: she’s writing in her diary, she’s FaceTiming with Noah Centineo about how excited they are about their “little secret” (a blatant and rude tease to the Lana-Noah IRL shippers), he says “whoa whoa whoa”…

And then she takes a mystery call from a mystery gentleman, who she squeals “will make the perfect John Ambrose!”
Yes, it seems they’ve recast John Ambrose MacLaren, the Model UN cutie and fifth letter recipient who showed up on the Coveys’ doorstep at the end of the first film, and creates a bit of a love triangle in Jenny Han’s next two Lara Jean books.
Looks like this poor dude’s getting rejected twice.
It’ll be interesting to see how far returning screenwriter Sofia Alvarez will stray from the source material – it’s possible everyone, especially the Peter Kavinsky fans, will be getting their hearts broken.
