Will there be a Kissing Booth 3?
Yes! The Kissing Booth is officially returning for a third instalment.
Netflix dropped the news of The Kissing Booth 3 just days after the second film premiered.
Netflix bases their decisions on whether or not to greenlight a new film or season by how many views the original gained. The first Kissing Booth film was met with overwhelming success, and so the streaming giant was quick to sign up for a second installment.
Netflix programming chief Ted Sarandos previously referred to the film as “one of the most-watched movies in the world right now” in May 2018.
Joey King, who play the main character Elle, was keen to do a third movie.
While appearing on the Today Show, Joey said: "Well, me and the cast have been talking and we want that so bad and we’re kind of relying on the fans to help us out.
"They loved the first one so much and they’re the reason that we got a sequel.
"So if they love this one and they make it known to the world and to Netflix, our fingers are crossed that Netflix will give us a third movie because that’s what we want really badly,"
Fans speculated that there would be a third (and perhaps even a fourth) movie after Beth Reekles, who created the franchise, published more Kissing Booth books.
The Kissing Booth book series contains (in chronological order):
- The Kissing Booth
- The Beach House
- The Kissing Booth 2: Going The Distance
- The Kissing Booth: Road Trip
When will The Kissing Booth 3 come to Netflix?
Although there was a two-year-long wait for the second movie, the third installment will be released on August 11, 2021.
Netflix revealed that the third movie was secretly being filmed alongside the second.
In a sizzle reel for their upcoming movies released on April 27, 2021, stars Joey King and Joel Courtney confirmed that the release date will be August 11, 2021.
"I got so excited, I ate 11 churros," Courtney said, with King adding, "Ate 11, hmm?" which sounds like "8/11" and in US format, that's August 11.
Netflix dropped the trailer for the third movie just days after the second premiered on the streaming site.
Joel Courtney, who plays best friend to Elle, revealed that: "We actually are done filming already. We filmed two and three at the exact same time."
Joey King said that filming the movies simultaneously: "was the hardest secret to keep ever."
What is Kissing Booth 3 about?
In the official Netflix synopsis, Kissing Booth 3 will center around Elle's major decision.
"It's the summer before Elle heads to college, and she has a secret decision to make. She has been accepted into Harvard, where her boyfriend Noah is matriculating, and also Berkeley, where her BFF Lee is headed. Which path should she choose?"
Can her relationship with Noah survive if she doesn't go to Harvard?
Who will star in The Kissing Booth 3?
The complete cast lineup is yet to be revealed, although we can speculate that the main band of characters will be making a return.

- Jacob Elordi as love interest Noah Flynn
