The After film series consists of American romantic-dramas based on the Anna Todd authored After novels. The plot centers around the positive and negative experiences of a romantic relationship between a young couple named Tessa and Hardin. Over the events of their courtship, the pair overcome their various differences, all while strengthening the plans of building a future together.

Though the films have been met with negative reviews from critics, the movies have attained a fanbase and fared well financially. Their monetary successes have led the associated production studios to green-light production on multiple installments at the same time.[1][2]

The series is continuing with a sequel in post production,[3] as well as another sequel and prequel being concurrently in development.[4]

Future

In April 2021, it was announced that two additional installments in the After film series were in development.

The films will be written and directed by Castille Landon.[4][17] In June of the same year, the filmmaker stated that she would continue work on the film series after first completing principal photography on an original script centered around a MMA love story.[18]

Before (TBA)

Based on the novella of the same name, the plot will revolve around Hardin Scott's life before he met Tessa Young. The project will detail a "larger conversation", with a more expanded plot including the character's trauma and family life. As the film will portray the character at a younger age, Hero Fiennes Tiffin will not reprise the role.[17]

Untitled sequel (TBA)

Inspired by the details of the epilogue from After Every Happy, the plot will center around the next-generation of the Scott family. The primary characters of the film will be Emery and Auden Scott, and their cousin Addy. Hardin and Tessa will feature into the plot, though as supporting characters as the parents of Emery and Auden; while Tiffin and Langford will not reprise the respective roles. Writer/director Landon stated the film will explore "carry[ing] the sins of [the] parents...trying to break out of that." Though the story will have less source material than the previous adaptations the filmmaker stated that it will "stay truthful" to past installments.[17]
