Sequel

In August 2018, Jenny Han, author of the source novel, said of a sequel film, which would adapt Han's written sequel book, titled P.S. I Still Love You:

"There's so many things in the second book that I would love to see in a sequel. The whole reason why I wrote a second book was for the character of John Ambrose McClaren, who is a fan favorite, and he's a favorite of mine too. I would love to see that explored, and also there's a character called Stormy that I love to write. I would love to see that."[10]
