The announcement was made during the season three premiere in Paris, where Jenny Han herself—author of the trilogy and executive producer of the series—said there was “a huge chapter in Belly’s life that deserved to be told on film.”

There is no confirmed release date for the film yet, but what is known is that filming will begin in 2026.
