Join Joel Courtney, Joey King, and the cast of The Kissing Booth 2 as they hang out with fans, share secrets from set and reveal more surprises!

From Entertainment Times : Joel Courtney's 'The Kissing Booth 3' Will Premiere In 2021

Netflix announced the third installment of The Kissing Booth is on the way. The announcement was made soon after the second season of the rom-com premiered on Netflix. The online streaming platform revealed on July 26 that The Kissing Booth is ready!

The Kissing Booth will return with the original star cast including Joel Courtney, Joey King, Taylor Zakhar Perez, Molly Ringwald, Jacob Elordi, Meganne Young, and Maisie Richardson-Sellers. The Kissing Booth 2 had kept a live event on YouTube where the entire cast appeared.

While fans had various questions to ask their idols, there was a big surprise for the fans hidden in the live event. Courtney revealed that the shooting of the second and third season was already filmed before the pandemic started.

However, King admitted that it was one of the most difficult secrets to hide. The 20-year-old actress, also, said that it was tricky for the entire cast to shoot as each day they use to film both the season scenes. The cast members, also, showed gratitude towards their fans for supporting the work.

The cast is, also, excited that with the help of their fans they are able to go on with the next season. "The explosion of love has been so real," King said. Beth Reekles, a British author, self-published a novel about coming-of-age on which the rom-com was originally created.

Netflix revealed that the first installment of The Kissing Booth became the most re-watched film on the platform in 2018. Komixx Entertainment and British film helped The Kissing Booth to get adapted in a movie in association with Random House Children's Screen Entertainment.

The Kissing Booth 3 is also directed by Vince Marcello like the other two installments released before. The second installment of The Kissing Booth revolved around Noah Flynn's character portrayed by Elordi. The 23-year-old actor is going to Harvard college and his girlfriend Elle Evans's character portrayed by King is ready to begin her high school in Los Angeles.

Due to their situation, the couple is forced to continue their relationship in long-distance. The storyline focus on their challenges and how their future seems to change. There are new characters introduced amid this jeopardy.

Chloe and Marco are two characters entered in the second season portrayed by Richardson-Sellers and Perez, respectively. While The Kissing Booth 2 is launched a few days back, Netflix announced that The Kissing Booth 3 is ready to rock in 2021.

Joey King (Elle Evans) and Joel Courtney (Lee FLynn) are back in The Kissing Booth 2! We asked them and their new co-stars Taylor Zakhar Perez (Marco Peña) and Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Chloe) to play a game of Superlatives and they did not disappoint! They told us EVERYTHING from who's the best at keeping secrets to who would date a friend's sibling to who would try to tempt someone already in a relationship.

We wanted to know EVERYTHING Joel Courtney aka Lee Flynn from Netflix's The Kissing Booth (and now The Kissing Booth 2!) has in his home so we sent him a scavenger hunt and he came up with some extremely weird and excellent items including some really sweet things from his fiancée and his brothers. And you won't believe what he and Lee Flynn have in common.

From Durrelliott : Joel Courtney Of “The Kissing Booth 2” On Lee Flynn And Elle Evans’ “Soulmate” Status

Lee Flynn (Joel Courtney) and Elle Evans (Joey King) have always been the heart of The Kissing Booth franchise.

It’s their friendship — with all of it’s special, somewhat confusing rules — that dominates the plot, even amid other relationship and school-related anxieties. That’s true for the movie’s sequel, too, and luckily, Joel and Joey have an IRL friendship to bolster the platonic chemistry between their characters.

“Elle and Lee are soulmates,” Joel says, though he clarifies they’re not the kind that end up dating. For Joel, returning to film The Kissing Booth 2 last year felt like a “family reunion.” He shares that he flew over to South Africa with his dad for filming on the same plane as Joey and co-star Taylor Zakhar Perez (who plays Marco). “I was sitting with my dad and Joey and Taylor had seats next to each other. I kept looking over and they were laughing together and having a great time and bonding. And I was like, ‘Aw, I love my dad, but I wish I could be with those guys.’”

In the sequel, as in the first movie, rules are meant to be broken. This time around, the big rule is that Elle and Lee will go to college together at their dream school, the University of California at Berkeley. But priorities soon shift for Elle, who wants to apply to colleges in Boston where her boyfriend Noah Flynn (Jacob Elordi) attends school with new friend Chloe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers). Meanwhile, Lee has problems of his own balancing his friendship with Elle and his growing relationship with girlfriend Rachel (Meganne Young).

Though Rachel and Elle have tension between them, Joel likes that The Kissing Booth 2 ultimately puts the blame for their conflict on Lee. He’s the one learning how to be open and honest with the people he loves. “Everything that’s happening between Elle and Rachel is Lee’s fault,” Joel says. “It’s his lack of communication. It’s his lack of strength being able to say something, hold his ground, and make it happen.”

The trio eventually figure themselves out, but the end of the second movie leaves things open for a potential third film. “If the third movie were to happen, I know what Lee would want,” he says of Lee and Elle’s plan for Berkeley. “But it’s all about Elle, her decisions and how they affect her life.”

Hopefully, a third film would feature just as much stunt action as Joel got to experience in the second; in one extended scene, he engages in a veritable Rube Goldberg machine of accidents. “Doing my own stunts is really fun,” Joel says. “Finding out how Lee runs into a cake was just one of my favorite things about filming this movie. It took a long time to get because there were so many segments, we would film them all individually.”

Next up for Joel is his recently announced Lionsgate project Jesus Revolution, which will likely begin filming in 2021. He’s also starting a YouTube channel with fiancée Mia Scholink, where they’ll combine their photography and digital editing hobbies. They’re currently planning their wedding in the hopes of getting married later this year, though he says COVID-19 is making those decisions more difficult.

In the meantime, he’s reflecting on the directions of his career and what he’s focused on for the future. “I am more aware of how fluid a career can be, the ebb and flow,” Joel Courtney says. “I started out on Super 8, a huge movie that made my life completely take a turn. Then I started working on indie films and passion projects and learned how to understand the industry, and then had The Kissing Booth blow back up in such an unexpected and completely enjoyable way.

“It’s one of those things where you see a career as hills and valleys. I don’t know what’s going to happen in five years, but I just know that I love acting and I’m going to continue to pursue it with the best of the ability that I have.”
