While the first film, based on Beth Reeckles’s self-published Wattpad novel, was panned by critics, it proved to be a massive hit for Netflix. While the streaming platform doesn’t release viewing numbers, it cited The Kissing Booth as one of its most-viewed movies ever. Last July, chief content officer Ted Sarandos called The Kissing Booth “one of the most-watched movies in the country, and maybe in the world.”In December, the streaming platform also called the film one of its most rewatched films, alongside the beloved (and lauded) To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.

Netflix didn’t announce the premiere date for The Kissing Booth 2 but confirmed the movie is currently in production. We stan this news. Hard.
