After Ever Happy is intended to be released theatrically on September 7, 2022. [2]

Synopsis

A realization of the past shakes Hardin’s impenetrable guise to the core, while Tessa suffers a personal tragedy. As the pair work through their difficulties, their relationship is on the edge of sustainability. As the truth about each of their families emerges, the shocking reality is that their respective families are not so different from each other. Tessa is no longer the sweet, simple, good girl she was; nor is Hardin the cruel, moody boy she initially fell for.[3] [4]

Cast

Additionally, Louise Lombard, Kiana Madeira, Chance Perdomo, Rob Estes, Carter Jenkins, Stephen Moyer, Mira Sorvino, Arielle Kebbel and Frances Turner will reprise their respective roles from the previous film.[5][6]

Production

Development

In September 2020, a feature film adaptation of After Ever Happy was announced to be in development. Developed at the same time as After We Fell, the films were announced to be directed by Castille Landon with Sharon Soboil serving as screenwriter. Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes-Tiffin were confirmed to reprise their roles as Tessa Young and Hardin Scott, respectively.[3][7]

Filming

The film entered pre-production in September 2020, prior to the release of After We Collided. Principal photography took place, back-to-back with After We Fell.[3] In December 2021, Louise Lombard, Kiana Madeira, Chance Perdomo, Rob Estes, and Carter Jenkins were confirmed to have reprised their roles from previous movies. The first teaser trailer was released in December 2021.[5]

Photography took place in Bulgaria, and wrapped production in December 2020.[6][8] Landon stated that the novel series' realistic analysis of love, drew her to joining the production, stating that her intent while directing the projects was to show that "romance isn't always beautiful".[9] During production, the cast worked closely together and stayed in a hotel in a more isolated manner, while cameras weren't rolling, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and protocols.[10] In between filming, the cast spent their free time playing board games in the hotel, such as Monopoly to pass the time.[11]

Release

After Ever Happy is scheduled to be released in the United States on September 7, 2022.[12] Netflix will reportedly handle distribution, after successfully handling international release of the previous movie.[7]
