As the After series continues to captivate fans around the world, attention has naturally shifted toward what comes next—spin-offs, future chapters, and the possibility of seeing Hardin and Tessa on-screen once again. Recently, Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Josephine Langford addressed these questions in a set of candid interviews, offering answers that were both hopeful and refreshingly honest.
For many fans, the idea of a Hardin spin-off, particularly one exploring his troubled past, has been a longstanding wish. In a moment that quickly caught the fandom’s attention, Hero hinted that he would be open to making a cameo if such a project were to move forward. “I’d definitely consider it,” he said with a smile. “If there’s a storyline about young Hardin, and if the team thinks there’s a meaningful way for me to appear—even briefly—I’d love to be part of it.”
His answer didn’t confirm anything, yet the openness struck a chord. It showed that Hero, despite having grown significantly in his career, still holds deep affection for the character that introduced him to millions.
Josephine Langford, meanwhile, approached the future of After with her signature thoughtfulness. When asked whether Tessa would appear in another sequel or spin-off, she gave an answer that fans described as both realistic and respectful. “I’ll always love Tessa,” she said. “But whether the next chapter needs her is a decision for the writers and director, not the actors.”
Her comment reflects a grounded understanding of storytelling: characters return only when their presence genuinely serves the narrative. It was also a gentle reminder that franchises evolve, and so do the arcs of their characters.
Yet the most intriguing part of both interviews came when Hero and Josephine addressed the possibility of working together again—not as Hardin and Tessa, but as co-stars in a completely different project. Surprisingly, both expressed genuine enthusiasm. They acknowledged that after years of growing together on-screen, their professional chemistry has become one of their strongest assets. “We’ve built a really comfortable working dynamic,” Hero said. “If the right script came along, I’d love to collaborate again.”
Josephine echoed the sentiment, adding that she enjoys working with actors who understand her rhythm, and Hero happens to be one of them.
Their responses have fueled a new wave of speculation among fans: If not After, then what? A romance? A thriller? A limited series? The possibilities, as many have noted, seem endless.
What makes these revelations so compelling is the balance they strike—both actors honor the legacy of After while also acknowledging their individual growth and the new paths ahead. They aren’t shutting doors. They aren’t clinging to the past. Instead, they are leaving space for evolution, surprise, and maybe, someday, a reunion that no one saw coming.
