The Last Sunrise may have only just arrived on Prime Video, but Amazon MGM was already considering what could come next before audiences had even watched Ry and Julian’s first summer together.
A sequel has not yet been officially greenlit, which is the most important qualification for viewers finishing the movie and wondering whether The Last Sunrise 2 is confirmed. However, there is much more behind the possibility than ordinary sequel speculation. Amazon MGM has reportedly been exploring a follow-up, screenwriter Anna Klassen has been brought back to work on it, and author Anna Todd is planning The Last Sunrise as part of a larger book trilogy. In other words, the story has a potential future already taking shape, even if Prime Video has not formally announced Movie 2.
Is The Last Sunrise 2 officially confirmed?
Not yet. Reports about a second film emerged in June 2026, months before The Last Sunrise premiered on Prime Video on August 26. The reporting indicated that Amazon MGM was “eyeing” a sequel rather than formally ordering one. That difference matters. A writer developing a screenplay does not guarantee that production will begin. Streaming performance, audience engagement and Amazon’s internal decisions could still determine whether the next film moves forward. As of the movie’s release, viewers should therefore treat The Last Sunrise 2 as a project in development rather than an officially greenlit sequel with a release date.
Is Anna Klassen writing The Last Sunrise sequel?
Yes, according to the reported development plans. Anna Klassen, who adapted Anna Todd’s original novel for the first Last Sunrise film, has reportedly returned to write the planned second installment. That suggests Amazon is not merely discussing hypothetical ideas for another movie. Story development has already progressed far enough for a screenwriter to become involved. Klassen returning would also provide continuity between the films, particularly because the first adaptation reshapes Todd’s novel into a feature running under two hours.
Is there a second The Last Sunrise book?
This is where things become particularly interesting. The 2025 The Last Sunrise novel was originally released as Ry and Julian’s complete story rather than Book 1 of an established trilogy sitting on bookstore shelves. However, reporting about the movie sequel revealed that Anna Todd is developing additional material and intends the property to become a book trilogy. The proposed second movie is said to be based on a previously unannounced new Todd novel.
That means Amazon would not simply be inventing an entirely original movie sequel after adapting a standalone romance. Todd herself is expanding the story in publishing while the screen franchise is being developed alongside it.
Could The Last Sunrise become three movies?
That appears to be the ambition. Reports surrounding the sequel development said the intention was potentially to produce three films, corresponding with Todd’s planned trilogy. Again, that is not the same thing as Amazon ordering a full three-film franchise.
The safest description at the moment is:
Todd is planning three books.
A second screenplay is reportedly being developed.
Amazon MGM has considered continuing the movie series.
The sequel has not yet received a publicly announced greenlight.
A third movie would depend on the franchise moving forward successfully. Given Todd’s history, the idea is hardly surprising.
Her After novels became a substantial screen franchise, beginning with After in 2019 and continuing across several movies. Amazon would therefore have a clear reason to evaluate The Last Sunrise as more than a one-off romance if the first film attracts a strong audience.
What could The Last Sunrise 2 be about?
This remains the biggest unknown. The first story already gives Ry and Julian a full emotional arc. Ry arrives in Mallorca believing her medical future is closing in on her, falls in love with Julian and discovers the long-hidden connection between their families. The sequel therefore cannot simply repeat another “one last summer” story without changing the stakes.
The most natural continuation would be to explore what happens after the fantasy of an intense Mallorca romance collides with an actual long-term relationship. Ry still lives with tuberous sclerosis. Surviving one crisis does not erase a lifelong condition. Julian is deeply attached to Mallorca and his family’s way of life. Ry also comes from a world of extraordinary wealth that stands in tension with Julian’s suspicion of luxury development and outsiders transforming his home.
Those differences are romantic during a summer affair. They become harder questions when two people begin building a permanent life. Isolde and Mateo’s history could also continue to matter, particularly if the next story keeps the theme of two generations trying to avoid repeating each other’s mistakes.

Will Maia Reficco and Fernando Lindez return?
No official sequel cast announcement has been made. But if the follow-up continues Ry and Julian’s story, Maia Reficco and Fernando Lindez would naturally be expected to remain central. Early development reporting also suggested an intention to bring back key creative personnel if the franchise proceeds.
Eva Longoria could likewise remain important as Isolde because her history with Mallorca and the Garcia family is one of the first movie’s major story threads. Until Amazon MGM formally orders the sequel, however, none of those returns should be treated as confirmed casting.
When could The Last Sunrise 2 be released?
There is currently no release date. The first movie only debuted on August 26, 2026, and Amazon will presumably want to see how audiences respond before committing publicly to another installment. The encouraging sign is that development began before the first film arrived. If Amazon does officially greenlight The Last Sunrise 2, having Klassen already working on the screenplay could shorten part of the development process.
For now, the correct answer is therefore unusual but promising: The Last Sunrise 2 is not officially confirmed, but a sequel is already being actively explored, and Anna Todd has plans big enough to turn the story into a trilogy.
