The After franchise is far from finished. According to behind-the-scenes reports from the Beyond After documentary, producers are actively exploring multiple new projects designed to expand the growing After Universe—including a prequel, several character-focused spin-offs, and additional long-term storylines.
Beyond the recently announced After: Next Generation, the creative team has confirmed that they are considering multiple narrative branches. Among the ideas already in discussion are:
-
a prequel (origin story) exploring the early life of Hardin Scott or another key character,
-
spin-offs dedicated to fan-favorite supporting characters such as Landon, and
-
potential projects centred around Christian Vance or members of the extended supporting cast.
Producers emphasized that they “still have a lot on the table” and view After not merely as a single film series but as a maturing cinematic brand with room to grow. While no official release dates have been announced, the ambition behind these ideas signals a long-term investment in building a broader, interconnected universe—similar to the expansion strategies of other successful romance and YA franchises.
For the cast, this direction opens the door to significant opportunities. Existing actors may return to reprise their roles in future chapters, while supporting characters—often overshadowed by the central Hardin–Tessa storyline—could finally receive dedicated screen time and deeper emotional arcs. Fans have long called for more development around characters like Landon, whose quiet resilience has made him a standout across the series.
If these projects move forward, the After Universe is set to offer a wider range of perspectives, richer backstories, and more character-driven narratives than ever before. For a franchise that began with a single love story, its evolution into a multi-layered cinematic world marks a remarkable new chapter—one that shows no signs of slowing down.
