Teen Vogue: The Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party 2019 Was All About Reunions and New Friends

This wasn’t just any old Hollywood party where people show up to see and be seen. Attendees were excited to greet their friends and colleagues and it became clear that for these young actors, who are navigating Hollywood and grappling with fame, friendship is of the utmost importance.

"I just got here and I'm pretty stoked because I've gotten to see a lot of friends already," said Joey King, a member of Teen Vogue's Young Hollywood Class of 2019, while walking the red carpet with her sister, Hunter. And when she found out her Kissing Booth costar Joel Courtney had already arrived, Joey got even more excited.

"I want a picture with him on the carpet," she said. "It's kind of funny because the amount we post together on the Internet is so little compared to how much we actually see each other. When I was filming The Act in Georgia, sometimes I would FaceTime my mom or sisters and he'd just be at my house hanging out with them. He's such a good friend, he's been with me through thick and thin. I love him so much and I can't wait to get into the story [of The Kissing Booth] with him again."

Slanted: ‘The Kissing Booth 2’ is Coming to Netflix

Netflix’s hit YA original “The Kissing Booth” is coming back with a sequel. The video streaming service confirmed “The Kissing Booth 2” today, and Joey King, Joel Courtney, and Jacob Elordi are returning for the new installment. Vince Marcello is directing the second movie, working from a screenplay that he wrote with Jay Arnold.

The Kissing Booth 2 is currently in production and will be released on Netflix, but the company stopped short of confirming a premiere date at this time. Netflix did release a promotional video for the announcement, and fans of the original can watch that video below.

The YA drama will fit right in with “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before 2,” which is bringing back Lana Condor and Noah Centineo. That drama is also an adaptation, based on the “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” trilogy by New York Times Bestselling Author Jenny Han. Fans of Lana Condor should see “Alita: Battle Angel,” she took the role of Koyomi for that project. The film comes from director Robert Rodriguez and stars Jennifer Connelly, Eiza González, Rosa Salazar, Mahershala Ali, Michelle Rodriguez, and Christoph Waltz. “Alita: Battle Angel” will hit theaters on Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2019.

Netflix has been stacking up the YA dramas lately, but the company is also working on “Jupiter’s Legacy,” a new superhero epic from Steven S. DeKnight (Marvel’s Daredevil, Spartacus, Buffy the Vampire Slayer). The new cast list includes Josh Duhamel as Sheldon Sampson/The Utopian; Ben Daniels as Walter Sampson/Brain-Wave, Sheldon’s older brother; Leslie Bibb as Grace Sampson/Lady Liberty; and Elena Kampouris and Andrew Horton as Sheldon and Grace’s children Chloe and Brandon.

Even though critics weren’t too keen on the film adaptation of Beth Reekles’ book of the same name, with a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and IndieWire calling it ‘sexist and outdated’, viewers apparently couldn’t get enough.

WorldFilmy: Kissing Booth 2 Teaser Reunites Joey King & Joel Courtney for More Netflix Fun

Netflix has announced that The Kissing Booth 2 is officially happening. The streaming platform released a teaser video to get fans excited for the sequel, and it appears to have worked. Last year’s adaptation of Beth Reekles was a huge success for Netflix, though it was panned by critics and currently holds a 13% Fresh Rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The streaming giant’s CCO Ted Sarandos called the first installment “one of the most-watched movies in the country, and maybe in the world.”

Netflix claims that one in three viewers has re-watched The Kissing Booth, which is 30% higher than their normal average of repeat viewings. With that kind of success, it seems like a no-brainer to have the original cast return for The Kissing Booth 2. Vince Marcello (Teen Beach Movie) returns to direct the sequel from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jay Arnold. The project is being produced by Marcello, Michele Weisler, Andrew Cole-Bulgina, and Edward Glauser.

At this point in time, no story details have been announced as of this writing, bit it is imagined that The Kissing Booth 2 will have a similar premise to the original. The first movie focuses on two best friends, Elle Evans (Joey King) and Lee Flynn (Joel Courtney) who have a lot of rules about their friendship. Elle starts dating Lee’s older brother Noah (Jacob Elordi), which is a violation of rule number 9: relatives totally off limits. The romantic teen comedy unravels from there and gets even more complicated when the duo decides to start a kissing booth for a school carnival.

Beth Reekles’ 2011 young adult novel The Kissing Booth was originally published on Wattpad, which is an online community for readers and writers to publish user-generated stories in different genres. The story won the Watty Award for Most Popular Teen Fiction in Wattpad’s annual writing contest and by 2012, the story had amassed over 19 million views. In 2013, the story was published by Penguin Random House and became a big seller, which is how Netflix came on board to adapt her original story. It isn’t clear if Reekles will be involved with The Kissing Booth 2 at this time.

While Netflix touts The Kissing Booth as a great streaming success, the movie was torched by critics, with many calling it sexist and a few noting that it is a “regressive look at relationships that highlights the worst impulses of the genre.” The movie and book have been criticized for being too cliché and too predictable, but the streaming platform saw huge numbers when they released it back in May 2018. There is no release date set for The Kissing Booth 2, but Netflix is confident that it will be just as big, if not bigger, than the first installment. You can watch The Kissing Booth 2 teaser trailer below, thanks to the Netflix YouTube channel.
