It’s been a year since Netflix released the romantic film Purple Hearts, and fans are eagerly awaiting news of a sequel.

Purple Hearts‘ dedicated fanbase has been actively voicing their desire for a second season across various social media platforms. 

For instance, on August 8, 2022, one enthusiastic supporter took to and expressed, “Netflix, you need to release a part 2 of Purple Hearts.” Similarly, another excited individual wrote, “I can’t contain my excitement for the release of Purple Hearts 2.”

Over the past few weeks, several posts were circulating on social media with false information, incorrectly stating that Purple Hearts 2 is scheduled for release in 2023.

However, there is currently no official news from Netflix regarding the release of a sequel to the movie anytime soon. 

As reported by NetflixLife, the likelihood of a Purple Hearts 2 appears to be quite low. The romantic drama concludes with a satisfying resolution, as Cassie Salazar (Sofia Carson) and Luke Morrow (Nicholas Galitzine) find their happily ever after, making a continuation of their story seem unnecessary at this point.

But on the other hand, Carson offered intriguing hints about a potential sequel and its thematic possibilities during an interview with Variety.

She acknowledged that fans want a sequel and mentioned all the creative ideas fans have come up with, like different stories and possible spinoffs. 

Carson also said she likes the idea of continuing Cassie and Luke’s story beyond the first movie. She enjoys playing Cassie and is curious about where her character’s journey might go in the future. She concluded by saying, “Who knows? There are so many options!”

During the same interview, the movie’s producer, Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, shared similar thoughts to Carson. She emphasized their dedication to keeping the story true to its essence, saying they wouldn’t make a sequel unless they were truly enthusiastic about it.

Rosenbaum also mentioned that they are currently in a stage where they haven’t finalized any concrete plans for a sequel. Still, they are leaving the door open for potential future developments.

Details on the plot of ‘Purple Hearts’

Purple Hearts is a musical romance film based on Tess Wakefield’s novel with the same title. The story revolves around Cassie, who works night shifts at a bar in Oceanside, CA, to make ends meet while passionately chasing her dream of becoming a singer-songwriter.

Conversely, Luke is a Marine trainee preparing to embark on his military duty, finding solace in the unwavering discipline of service.

Later in the movie, a significant turning point occurs when Cassie and Luke first meet at Cassie’s bar. At that point, Cassie was burdened by mounting medical bills due to her diabetes diagnosis, and Luke was also facing financial challenges.

Therefore, to access military benefits and alleviate their individual financial burdens, they make the unconventional decision to enter into a marriage of convenience.

Initially, their relationship was marked by mutual disdain, driven by their starkly different political beliefs – one being progressive and the other conservative. 

However, as time passed, they experienced a slow but significant transformation. They began to understand that their political beliefs mattered less when they encountered various challenges in their lives.

They also discovered that the most vital aspects of their relationship were their personal qualities, including empathy, integrity, consideration, loyalty, and fairness. Perhaps, in the process, they could even find happiness and fulfillment in their initially pragmatic marriage.

Despite the movie’s simple storyline, it garnered widespread acclaim and enjoyed massive success upon its release on July 29, 2022. 

Meet ‘Purple Hearts’ cast members

Purple Hearts was skillfully directed by Rosenbaum and brought to life through the production efforts of Amy Baer, Elysa Koplovitz Dutton, and Leslie Morgenstein. 

Likewise, the talented screenwriting duo Liz W. Garcia and Kyle Jarrow, who masterfully translated the story onto the screen, expertly crafted the compelling narrative.

As previously mentioned, the movie’s main leads are Carson, who portrays Salazar, and Galitzine, who takes on the role of Luke Morrow. 

Carson has gained recognition for her notable performances in various projects, including Descendants, A Cinderella Story: If The Shoe Fits, and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, among others. 

Meanwhile, Galitzine has made a name for himself through roles in films such as The Craft: Legacy, Cinderella Red, White, & Royal Blue, and several other notable works in the industry.

Moreover, Chosen Jacobs portrays the character of Frankie, Cassie’s childhood friend and Luke’s comrade in the U.S. Marine Corps. He is recognized for his other roles in Castle Rock and Disney+’s Sneakerella.

In addition to the main cast, Purple Hearts boasts a talented supporting cast member who contributes to the film’s depth and storytelling. 

Linden Ashby takes on the role of Jacob Morrow Sr., a retired military police officer, and Luke’s father, whereas Loren Escandon portrays Marisol Salazar, Cassie’s mother.

Likewise, John Harlan Kim steps into the character of Toby, who owns a record label, bringing a musical element to the story, and Anthony Ippolito adds complexity as Johnno, a character from Luke’s past with ties to the drug trade.

Furthermore, Kat Cunning shines as Nora, Cassie’s close friend and bandmate, while Scott Deckert embodies Jacob Morrow Jr., Luke’s brother.

Together, this supporting ensemble enhances the storytelling and character dynamics in Purple Hearts, making it a well-rounded cinematic experience.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Star in Robert Eggers' Next Film ‘Werwulf’

After haunting audiences with Nosferatu, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is teaming up once again with director Robert Eggers. This time for a werewolf horror titled Werwulf. The film is already building buzz ahead of its Christmas Day 2026 release, and it may get even hotter with Nosferatu lead Lily-Rose Depp in talks to join the cast.

Eggers will direct from a script he co-wrote with Sjón, his collaborator on The Northman. With Focus Features backing the project, and Working Title producing, Werwulf looks to carry the eerie, mythic tone Eggers is known for — only now under the full moon.

Their last outing, Nosferatu, was a breakout hit, raking in $181 million worldwide and marking a massive return for stylized gothic horror. Taylor-Johnson played Friedrich Harding, a vampire skeptic, while Depp portrayed Ellen, the object of Count Orlok’s obsession.

With werewolves now in his sights, Eggers’ next nightmare seems poised to bite — and Taylor-Johnson is clearly ready to howl.

Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the dinosaur saga, has stomped its way to box office glory. Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-written by Jurassic Park veteran David Koepp, the film premiered on June 17 in London and hit U.S. theaters on July 2. It has already grossed over $334 million globally against a reported budget of $180 million.

This fresh reboot stars Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in leading roles, supported by Jonathan Bailey, Ed Skrein, and Rupert Friend. The film shifts slightly from the earlier World trilogy tone, leaning into sci-fi thrills and a suspenseful, character-driven story.

Critics have been split. While some praise the visual effects and performances, others say it doesn’t quite recapture the awe of Spielberg’s original. Still, many fans agree that Rebirth is a major improvement over the previous film, Dominion, and a step in the right direction for the franchise.

With its strong performance, Universal is now reportedly developing spin-offs and planning to expand the Jurassic universe further. After ten films and over three decades of dino-dominance, it seems audiences still aren’t done with the thrill of prehistoric adventure.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially underway, and the cast lineup is as iconic as fans hoped. Meryl Streep returns as the icy editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, joined once again by Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci — reprising their roles nearly two decades after the 2006 original became a cultural classic.

But the sequel isn’t just about the old guard. It’s adding new faces to the high-fashion chaos, including Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, and Bridgerton star Simone Ashley. Acclaimed actor and director Kenneth Branagh will also appear as Miranda’s husband — a character that’s expected to shake up the dynamics at Runway Magazine.

Plot details are still under wraps, but the film is scheduled to release on May 1, 2026. It’s expected to explore the evolving world of fashion media while diving deeper into Miranda’s personal life and Andy Sachs’ next chapter. Notably missing is Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s boyfriend Nate in the original. Sources say his character won’t return for the sequel.

With a mix of nostalgia and fresh energy, The Devil Wears Prada 2 promises to deliver sharp dialogue, high fashion, and the kind of dramatic flair only Miranda Priestly can serve.
