The highly anticipated sequel to After, the breakout romantic drama based on Anna Todd’s bestselling novel, has officially rounded out its cast — and fans are buzzing. After We Collided is bringing fresh faces and familiar favorites together, with Charlie Weber, Louise Lombard, and Candice King joining returning leads Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Josephine Langford for another intense chapter in Tessa and Hardin’s turbulent love story.
Produced by Voltage Pictures and directed by Roger Kumble (Cruel Intentions), After We Collided picks up right where the first film left off, exploring the emotional fallout of Tessa and Hardin’s relationship. As secrets unravel and trust is tested, the sequel promises deeper drama, more passion, and a more mature tone than its predecessor. Charlie Weber, best known for his role as Frank Delfino on How to Get Away With Murder, joins the cast as Christian Vance — a powerful publishing executive with ties to Hardin’s mysterious past. His presence adds a compelling new dimension to the story, hinting at revelations that could forever change Hardin’s world.
Louise Lombard (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) takes on the role of Trish Daniels, Hardin’s mother, whose relationship with her troubled son has long been a source of tension. Her addition to the ensemble signals a deeper dive into Hardin’s family dynamics and the factors that shaped his volatile personality. Meanwhile, The Vampire Diaries alum Candice King plays Kimberly, Vance’s charming and warm-hearted fiancée, who quickly becomes one of Tessa’s closest allies in the professional world. King’s casting has thrilled fans of both franchises, with many eager to see her bring her signature charisma to the romantic drama.
Rounding out the new additions are Max Ragone, Rob Estes, and Dylan Sprouse, who takes on the pivotal role of Trevor Matthews — Tessa’s new co-worker and potential love interest. Sprouse’s portrayal is expected to bring a refreshing energy to the series, setting up a love triangle that fans of the novel know all too well. The first After film became a global hit upon its release, earning millions at the box office and sparking a passionate fandom. With its sequel, the franchise is stepping up its production value, cast depth, and storytelling ambition.
Director Roger Kumble has described After We Collided as “a film for the fans — more intense, more emotional, and far more real.” With its expanded cast and a sharper focus on character growth, the movie aims to deliver everything readers loved about the book while adding cinematic flair. After We Collided premiered in select international markets before debuting in the U.S., further proving the series’ worldwide appeal. For fans of romantic drama, this sequel isn’t just another chapter — it’s a deeper, darker evolution of a love story that continues to captivate audiences everywhere.
