Noah Centineo is sharing more love…

Netflix has released a first look at the sequel to its hit romantic comedy, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, starring the 23-year-old part-Puerto Rican actor. 

Noah Centineo

Titled To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, the film catches up with high-school sweethearts Lara Jean (Lana Candor) and Peter (Centineo). But there’s a sense that things might not be as peachy as they seem.

Their relationship takes a complicated turn when Lara Jean’s old crush, John Ambrose McLaren (Jordan Fisher), shows up. He reveals that he received a letter from Lara Jean expressing her love for him in middle school, one of many sent out by her younger sister in the first movie.

“I’m gonna need that letter back,” Lara Jean tells McLaren, who jokes, “I’m gonna need proof that someone actually liked me in middle school.”

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Beforeand P.S. I Still Love You are the first two books in Jenny Han’s young adult trilogy. Michael Fimognari, who served as director of photography on the original, directed the sequel. Susan Johnson helmed the first movie and executive produced the second. Sofia Alvarez wrote both films.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Beforewas praised by critics and audiences alike and became a water-cooler hit for the streaming service. A conclusion to the series, titled To All the Boys: Always and Forever, Lara Jeanis currently in production.
