Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky’s love story is just beginning. Variety has confirmed that Netflix and Paramount’s Awesomeness Films are in discussions on a sequel for “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” Released this August on Netflix, the romantic comedy earned rave reviews from critics and millions of passionate fans. While a deal hasn’t been finalized, the original film’s director, Susan Johnson, confirmed in a since-deleted Instagram post that it’s in the works.

Based on the best-selling novel by Jenny Han, “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” stars Lana Condor ( “X-Men: Apocalypse”) as Lara Jean, a shy high school student who struggles to tell people how she feels. Her life is turned upside down when her most secret possessions — love letters addressed to her five crushes, one of whom is her sister’s boyfriend (Israel Broussard, “Happy Death Day”) — are actually mailed out by someone. Desperate to avoid awkwardness with her sister’s beau, Lara Jean enters a faux relationship with one of her former crushes, the most popular boy in school (Noah Centineo, “The Fosters”). Sofia Alvarez (“Man Seeking Woman”) penned the adaptation.

“My hope is this character will change the way writers decide to depict Asian-Americans,” Condor has said. “We get pretty much the same roles of being the nerd or the awkward person. I think Lara Jean just being your average girl … we’re not focusing on the way that she looks. She is a universal character; she also happens to be Asian. We’re normalizing it. We’re not making us an ‘other’ anymore.”

Han’s 2014 book is the first installment of a trilogy. It was followed by 2015’s “P.S. I Still Love You” and 2017’s “Always and Forever, Lara Jean.”

Johnson made her feature directorial debut with 2016 Bel Powley-starrer “Carrie Pilby.”
