Directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, and an adaptation of the namesake novel by Tess Wakefield, Purple Hearts is a musical romance film streaming on Netflix. The plot revolves around Cassie, an aspiring musician, and Luke, a US Marine soon to be deployed to Iraq. To deal with their respective problems, Cassie and Luke agree to go through a marriage of convenience so they can access the health insurance available to military spouses. The film premiered on July 29, 2022, and even though it received mostly negative reviews from critics, it was one of the most successful films for Netflix in 2022 in terms of viewership numbers. If you are wondering whether there will be a Purple Hearts 2, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all the Purple Hearts 2 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Purple Hearts 2 release date?
Purple Hearts 2 does not have an official release date, but it might be announced in the future.
As of late January 2024, Purple Hearts 2 hasn’t been officially greenlit, despite several viral Facebook posts claiming otherwise. As mentioned above, Purple Hearts is based on the book of the same name by Tess Wakefield, and the said book doesn’t have a sequel. However, the fans don’t need to abandon all hope as director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum told Variety in an August 2022 interview that there had been casual talks about a potential sequel.
Rosenbaum stated, “I mean, I could watch the two of them and their chemistry all day. And they’re just great people to work with, so I definitely won’t rule it out. We wouldn’t do anything unless we really, really loved it, because we want to stay true to the integrity. We haven’t landed on anything specific yet. It’s always a possibility.”
Sofia Carson, who played Cassie in the movie, said, “Now fans have kind of been demanding a sequel and there’s so many fan theories and fan stories and potential spinoffs, so of course it’s lovely to think of a life for Cassie and Luke beyond this film.” “I adore being Cassie and I’d be curious to see where it goes. Who knows. You never know!” she added.
Not much about the project has been heard since then. In August 2023, while promoting Red, White & Royal Blue, Nicholas Galitzine, who portrays Luke Morrow, reportedly said during his appearance on the Just for Variety podcast that he tried and let “nature kind of take its course with these projects.” ComingSoon will provide an update if and when the sequel is greenlit.
The cast includes Sofia Carson as Cassie Morrow (née Salazar), Nicholas Galitzine as Luke Morrow, Chosen Jacobs as Frankie, John Harlan Kim as Toby, Kat Cunning as Nora, Linden Ashby as Jacob Morrow Sr., Anthony Ippolito as Johnno, Scott Deckert as Jacob Morrow Jr., Sarah Rich as Hailey Morrow, and more.
Where is Purple Hearts 2 coming out?
Purple Hearts 2 could come out on Netflix.
This is because the first film was released on the same platform.
The official synopsis for Purple Hearts reads:
“An aspiring musician agrees to a marriage of convenience with a soon-to-deploy Marine, but a tragedy soon turns their fake relationship all too real.”
