Hide AdThe series has everything fans loved about its predecessor, and more. While the show will be released in weekly installments, viewers have already binged the first three hours after they dropped and are already asking whether a third season is on the horizon.
The series, which is an adaptation of the Jenny Han novel of the same name, stole fans’ hearts last summer. Those who read the books before the show know that it is based on Han’s three-part novel series that follows Belly Conklin as she navigates a love triangle between brothers, so a third season would make sense. Particularly since they are closely following the second book’s plot in this series.
The show has yet to be renewed for a third season, but during an appearance on CBS Mornings Jenny Han discussed the possibility of a third season while promoting the new episodes. When asked when the show would return the creator said: “I hope so”.

During her appearance Han added that should the show be renewed it would potentially be delayed by the ongoing writer’s strike.
Han said: "We can’t until the writers strike is over," she continued. "I hope that the studios will come back to the table and negotiate and we can get back to work. I think everyone wants to go back to work, including me.”

She’s grown up with them, and can’t imagine life without them. One broke her heart, the other made her happier than she ever thought she’d be.
