Could We Be Getting A 'Red, White And Royal Blue' Sequel?

“I would love to do a sequel, if we have the right story,” López said in an interview with Teen Vogue earlier this month. “There has to be a better reason than simply the desire to make one, there has to be a compelling story reason. I don’t think a sequel is a bad idea, but I don’t think a sequel for the sake of doing a sequel is necessarily sufficient.”

The out gay director also told Hello! magazine that he would consider making a sequel even if McQuiston never wrote a follow up. “Even if Casey never wrote a book, I would if there was demand for it,” he said. “And if Casey and Taylor and Nick wanna work on it, then who am I to say no?”

It seems like that might not be necessary though, because McQuiston also told Hello! that there is potential for the LGBTQ+ romance to continue. “I have plenty of ideas for stories set in this world and would love a chance to explore one of them some day,” the queer nonbinary author said. “I would be surprised if you’ve seen the last of Alex and Henry.”

Whether it comes in the form of a book or a movie—both please!—hopefully we won’t have to wait too long before we get more of Alex and Henry’s steamy romance.
