Netflix has released the first official trailer for The Kissing Booth 2, the highly anticipated romance sequel. After The Kissing Booth premiered on the streaming service in 2018, it quickly became a hit for Netflix. Naturally, The Kissing Booth 2 was given the green light, with the original cast returning for the sequel. The original film follows a young girl named Elle (Joey King), who strikes up a romantic relationship with her best friend's older brother, Noah (Jacob Elordi). But after locking lips with him at a kissing booth that she organized violates one of their most important friendship rules in the process.
A brand new trailer for The Kissing Booth 2 has been released by Netflix, showcasing the teen romance sequel. The trailer reunites fans with Noah and Elle as he begins his college journey, and she enters her senior year of high school. The romantic couple appears to be struggling with their long-distance relationship, trying to keep their spark alive and trying their best not to let their jealousy get the best of them. The full trailer and one-sheet poster are below.
In recent years, Netflix has revitalized the romantic comedy, particularly teen romance films. Not only was The Kissing Booth a huge hit on the streaming platform, but it helped pave the way for other teen romance films, such as To All The Boys I've Loved Before, Alex Strangelove, The Last Summer, and The Perfect Date to find success on the service as well. In fact, the former landed a sequel on Netflix earlier this year, entitled To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, which wasn't as well-received as the first film.
The sequel will star King, Elordi, Joel Courtney, Taylor Zakhar Perez, Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Molly Ringwald, and will once again be directed by Vince Marcello. As for the official synopsis of the sequel, it reads,
Elle Evans (Joey King) just had the most romantic summer of her life with her reformed bad-boy boyfriend Noah Flynn (Jacob Elordi). But now Noah is off to Harvard, and Elle heads back to high school for her senior year. She'll have to juggle a long-distance relationship, getting into her dream college with her best friend Lee (Joel Courtney), and the complications brought on by a close friendship with a handsome, charismatic new classmate named Marco (Taylor Zakhar Perez). When Noah grows close to a seemingly-perfect college girl (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), Elle will have to decide how much she trusts him and to whom her heart truly belongs. Director and screenwriter Vince Marcello returns for The Kissing Booth sequel, based on the "The Kissing Booth" books by Beth Reekles.
The Kissing Booth 2 will premiere on Netflix on July 24, 2020.
