To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before garnered a cult fan following practically overnight, so to be honest, they could serve up anything as a sequel and we would eagerly wait up for it.
But instead, they’re clearly going all out with the sequel and giving us some solid new cast members. Last week they announced that Jordan Fisher will be playing Peter Kavinsky’s competition, John Ambrose (not the guy from the end of the first film), and now they’ve announced that Ross Butler will be playing Peter Kavinsky’s bestie, Trevor Pike.

From Riverdale to 13 Reasons Why, Ross Butler is already a Netflix teen genre king, and apparently he and Noah Centineo already have a bromance that the TATBILB sequel will play off.
“His real-life friendship with Noah brings a natural chemistry and great rapport to the set and we can’t wait for fans to see this friendship play out onscreen.” Producer Matt Kaplan told EW.
The sequel doesn’t yet have a release date, but I feel it’s only right to remind everyone that the plot is looking pretty distressing. I personally don’t see what’s wrong with two hours of Peter and Lara Jean living happily ever after with no other love interests or obstacles, but I guess Netflix disagrees.
