There are currently no plans for a Purple Hearts 2 but there’s good news for Sofia Carson fans.

will there be a purple hearts 2 on netflix

It’s soon two years since Purple Hearts‘ arrived on Netflix globally. Although fans have been clamoring for a sequel on the streamer, there are currently no plans. That’s not to say there’s no good news. Sofia Carson has just been announced to be part of a new romantic comedy for the streamer. 

Starring Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine, Purple Hearts is one of Netflix’s best and most-watched romance movies. Based on the novel by Tess Wakefield, the movie tells the story of an aspiring musician who agrees to a marriage of convenience with a soon-to-deployed Marine.

Before Netflix switched to its new 91-day metric to cover its all-time top-performing titles, Purple Hearts ranked as the ninth most-watched movie of all time, with 228.69 million hours watched within the first 28 days globally on the service.

Throughout 2023, we’ve posted numerous times about fake news floating about on Facebook regarding news on movies and series getting sequels when they are not. It started with The Queen’s Gambit, and recently, we noticed viral posts about 365 Days 4 coming out. Both are, sadly, not true.

The pages are all Netflix fan pages that earn money through affiliate programs. There are multiple fake pages, including “Netflix Addict,” “The Netflix Memes,” and “Netflix Daily Updates.”

Disclosure: What’s on Netflix has subsequently purchased the Netflix Daily Updates page and removed any offending posts.

Over the past few months, they’ve regularly posted about Purple Hearts 2 “coming soon,” and sadly, it’s not currently the case that there’s going to be a sequel. Many of the posts pick up tens of thousands of likes and shares.

Most posts also contain links to fellow Netflix news sites, such as Netflix Life, which purportedly backs up the claim of there being a sequel. Sadly, if you navigate to said page, it says no such thing. Here’s what it says:

“As of May 2023, Netflix has not indicated that a sequel is in the works. The chances of there being a Purple Hearts 2 are slim to none. The romantic drama wraps up pretty neatly, with Cassie and Luke ending up together. So, a continuation of the story seems unnecessary.”

Not much, but the movie’s producers did have some thoughts following its initial release in 2022. As of 2024, there are no official plans or any active rumblings of a sequel.
