Colleen Hoover Endorses Potential It Ends With Us Sequel

Author Colleen Hoover recently expressed her enthusiastic support for a potential film adaptation of her book It Starts with Us, the sequel to the 2024 cinematic hit It Ends with Us. Although the original movie was a commercial success, future production remains complicated because the film rights are held by Justin Baldoni, who directed and starred in the first installment. This uncertainty is further heightened by a high-profile legal dispute and subsequent settlement between Baldoni and lead actress Blake Lively. Despite the behind-the-scenes friction, Hoover remains proud of the initial adaptation and welcomes a follow-up if the studio chooses to proceed. Interestingly, Baldoni previously suggested that Lively herself would be an ideal choice to direct a second chapter. Outside of this franchise, Hoover continues to expand her Hollywood presence with several other novel adaptations currently in development.
