The After series, based on Anna Todd’s wildly popular young adult novels, initially consisted of five films, concluding with After Everything. However, with prequels and potential spin-offs, the story continues to evolve, suggesting the possibility of future installments beyond the core five.
The Core After Film Series: A Complete Rundown
The original After series focuses on the tumultuous romance between Tessa Young and Hardin Scott. These films directly adapt the core novels written by Anna Todd, chronicling their journey from university freshmen to young adults navigating the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. The official series concludes with After Everything, offering a (somewhat) definitive ending to their tumultuous relationship. The chronological order of the films is: After, After We Collided, After We Fell, After Ever Happy, and After Everything.
Beyond Hardin and Tessa: Expanding the After Universe
While the main series has reached its conclusion, the After universe is expanding beyond the core story. The prequel, Before, focuses on Hardin Scott’s backstory, exploring the events that shaped him into the brooding and troubled individual we meet in After. This opens up possibilities for further exploration of other characters and storylines within the After world, either in film or television format.
The Future of the After Franchise: What to Expect
The success of the After franchise has made it a valuable property for Voltage Pictures and other production companies. While no further sequels directly following Tessa and Hardin are currently planned, the expansion of the universe with Before suggests that there is an appetite for more After content. Whether this will take the form of additional prequels, spin-offs focusing on other characters, or even a television series remains to be seen. It is important to always keep an eye on official announcements from Anna Todd, Voltage Pictures, and the relevant social media channels for the most up-to-date information.
