With Kissing Is the Easy Part gaining buzz on Tubi, its leading stars, Asher Angel and Paris Berelc, are already dreaming up what the next installment could look like.
And if their ideas are anything to go by, fans of the YA romance may be in for an emotional evolution.
Based on the beloved Wattpad novel by Christine Duann, the film follows Sean, a laser-focused MIT hopeful, and Flora, the effortlessly magnetic free spirit who challenges his carefully structured world. What begins as an arrangement built on convenience slowly unravels into something far deeper — and far more complicated.
The movie closes on a tender but uncertain note. After a year apart — Sean settling into freshman life at MIT and Flora exploring life beyond high school — the two reconnect, leaving audiences with a hopeful yet unresolved reunion. That deliberate ambiguity has fueled sequel speculation, and Angel believes there’s rich territory still to explore.
He imagines a continuation that dives into the realities of young adulthood: long-distance struggles, shifting priorities, and the uphill climb of maintaining love amid ambition. For Sean, that could even mean making a life-altering decision, like transferring schools, if it means fighting for their relationship.
Berelc, meanwhile, sees a more self-discovery-driven arc for Flora. She’d love to see her character lean into her creative instincts, particularly writing, a passion hinted at in the original story. In her vision, Flora could channel her experiences into storytelling, perhaps even crafting a novel inspired by her journey with Sean. It’s a sequel idea that shifts the spotlight toward growth, identity, and emotional maturity.
While no official green light has been given, the open-ended finale and the palpable enthusiasm from its leads suggest the story is far from finished. If a second chapter does materialise, it promises to go beyond first love — exploring what it truly takes to keep it alive.
