Everything We Know About ‘After Everything,’ The Fifth Movie in the ‘After’ Series
Just when we thought we had officially said goodbye to Tessa and Hardin, we got a special surprise: a fifth (!!) movie is coming out! That’s right, After Ever Happy is *not* the end of a love story! And while fans have been looking forward to a previously announced prequel film, the fifth film—titled After Everything—will now serve as the big final installment of the After franchise. So what can fans expect from it?
Here’s everything we know about After Everything.
Wait, there’s another After movie?!
If you’re surprised, don’t worry because you’re not the only one. Hero himself revealed that another movie titled After Everything finished filming in August 2022 and fans are excited to see what happens next. You can watch the special reveal below:
Hero and Josephine are also in there?!
According to the series’ Instagram account, both Hero and Josephine are in it as they were both tagged in the announcement.
What will the fifth movie be about?
Your guess is as good as ours! Unlike previous movies based on books, this one really has no obvious connection to the original series as the fifth book, Before, is actually a prequel. But we can expect movie #5 to continue Hessa’s love story with a time jump to show where they go in the future.

If you’ve seen After Ever After, you’ll know that the movie only covers part of the book so it’s safe to assume it will take place immediately after. And with a next-gen sequel also in the works, it’s likely to have something to do with that too!
Meanwhile, the film’s official Fathom Events page has dropped some hints thanks to the film’s official description.
“The film shows Tessa and Hardin living separate lives after Hardin publishes his revealing book without her knowledge. Alone in England, Hardin retreated into drinking and other harmful habits. Worse still, he’s having trouble writing and may have to pay back his sizable advance if he doesn’t finish a new draft soon.
“Instead of giving in to his demons, Hardin begins to realize that the only way to move forward—and have any chance of winning Tessa back—is to right the mistakes of his past. He goes to Portugal to visit Natalie, a woman he once treated poorly. By spending time with Natalie and realizing she has moved on, Hardin is finally able to forgive himself and envision a bright future with the woman he loves.
“Meanwhile, back in the States, Landon and Nora prepare for their upcoming wedding – which Tessa and Hardin will attend. Can the couple who has been through it all forgive each other and make the final commitment?
When will After Everything be released?
We know you’re waiting for the movie’s big release date and the wait is almost over. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on September 13, 2023, the trailer will give you a glimpse of what happens next.
