In 2019, teen romance flick After was a surprise box-office smash, winning over young adults with its story of forbidden love snatched directly from the world of One Direction fan-fiction.
And no that’s not a roast; the film is adapted from a best-selling book that literally began as a work of Harry Styles fanfic published on Wattpad. What a time to be alive!
Now, Anna Todd’s sequel novel After We Collided is available to watch on Prime Video, alongside that first thrilling YA chapter.
When we last left good girl Tessa and bad boy Hardin, their intoxicating romance had seemingly met its end, with too much drama between the pair and Tessa heading off to college. But as the below trailer implies, things are clearly not settled between the two breathtakingly attractive teenagers.
After We Collided is notably directed by Roger Kumble, who also directed Cruel Intentions. Could we be in for the same kind of adolescent scheming and sensuality?
The After franchise continues with After We Fell and the concluding chapter After Ever Happy, shot back to back in Bulgaria during the constraints of the COVID pandemic. Both of those sequels are directed by Castille Landon, bringing a sensual female gaze to this teen fantasy.
