Will There Be an Anyone But You 2? Here’s What We Know So Far

Romantic comedies rarely dominate the box office these days, but Anyone But You defied expectations. Released in late 2023, the film became a sleeper hit, charming audiences with its enemies-to-lovers twist and sizzling chemistry between Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell. Now, fans are asking: Will there be an Anyone But You 2?

From Modest Budget to Global Phenomenon: Directed by Will Gluck (Easy A, Friends with Benefits), Anyone But You was made on a lean $25 million budget but soared to nearly $220 million globally. Its success wasn’t just theatrical—when it hit Netflix, the film surged to the top of the streaming charts, reigniting interest and fueling sequel speculation.

Sydney Sweeney’s “High Nine Chance” Comment:
In a February 2024 appearance on The Tonight Show, Sydney Sweeney playfully teased the possibility of a sequel, saying there was “maybe, like, a high nine chance.” Glen Powell echoed the sentiment in later interviews, joking that he’s checking his inbox for a script. While Sony Pictures hasn’t made an official announcement, the stars’ enthusiasm—and the film’s performance—make a strong case.

Why a Sequel Feels Inevitable: The original film wrapped up with a satisfying romantic resolution, but fans are eager to see what’s next for Bea and Ben. Could Anyone But You 2 follow their engagement, a chaotic wedding, or even a comedic breakup and reunion? The Shakespearean inspiration (Much Ado About Nothing) leaves room for more drama, miscommunication, and heartfelt moments. With an 87% audience score and viral fan edits flooding TikTok, the demand is undeniable.

What’s Holding It Back? : As of now, the sequel remains unwritten. Sweeney told Empire in May 2025, “It’s not a no, and it’s not a yes. It’s a, ‘I don’t have an answer that I can say for you.’” That coy response suggests discussions are happening behind the scenes. If Sony sees the same potential fans do, a greenlight could be imminent.

Conclusion: While Anyone But You 2 hasn’t been officially confirmed, the stars are aligned—literally. With box office success, streaming dominance, and cast enthusiasm, the sequel feels less like a question of “if” and more like “when.” Rom-com lovers, keep your eyes peeled. Bea and Ben’s story might not be over just yet.
