Seriously, who needed — or wanted — to stop watching this romantic drama? But here’s the thing. Netflix hasn’t said a word about creating a follow-up movie. But you know how fans are!
They swiftly flooded social media with pleas for more content, while inquiries about potential sequels inundated the actors and director. “Purple Hearts” finds its roots in Tess Wakefield’s 2017 novel of identical nomenclature.

The narrative revolves around a young woman aspiring to musical stardom and a Marine ensnared in military matrimony. Their lives become complicated upon his unforeseen return. Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine play the leads, Cassie and Luke. People on the internet are chatting about a possible sequel. However, as of November 15th, nothing looks to be in the works.

Is there a Purple Hearts 2 Release Date?

As of November 2023, Netflix has not dropped any hints that “Purple Hearts” might get a sequel. It would seem unlikely that we’d hear confirmation about “Purple Hearts 2”. The romantic drama ties up its storyline neatly, with Cassie and Luke finding their way to each other. Therefore, continuing their story might feel unnecessary.

However, if a sequel were to materialize, it could explore Cassie and Luke’s life as a married couple. Perhaps it could delve into their experiences navigating married life, including the challenges they face. Considering Luke’s discharge from the Marine Corps due to fraud charges, his struggle to secure employment could introduce tension into their relationship. Additionally, Cassie’s burgeoning singing career and her frequent tours could further strain their marriage. Note that they find themselves spending less time together at home. These dynamics could offer compelling narrative threads for a potential sequel.

No Official Confirmations about the Purple Hearts 2 Release Date

Despite the enthusiastic interest and demand from fans, the likelihood of a sequel feels rather slim. Time plays a crucial role in the decision-making process for such sequels. While it’s true that you can never completely rule out the possibility, as time passes, the schedules of the cast become busier and public interest gradually wanes.

Netflix gotta think hard ’bout bringin’ back “Purple Hearts” for another go. Since Nicholas Galitzine’s “Red, White & Royal Blue” hit screens in August 2023, peeps been way more hyped for a sequel than the Netflix romance flick. Galitzine’s star’s on the rise, so you know he’ll snag some big roles. Future of sequels? Always a toss-up, but seems like one flick’s got better odds. Oh, and with the end of those strikes, expect a flood of updates on what streaming platforms and studios got cookin’. Hopefully, there will be some positive news regarding sequels in the near future!

Sofia Carson Open to Potential Sequel for “Purple Hearts”

In an interview with Variety in August 2022, Sofia Carson and Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum discussed various aspects of shooting the film. That includes the selection of Nicholas Galitzine for the role of Luke. They also discussed the overwhelming desire from fans for a sequel. Despite the film seemingly concluding Cassie and Luke’s love story, fans couldn’t get enough of them.

Carson appeared to be in agreement with the fans’ sentiments, which was fortunate. Rosenbaum echoed Carson’s perspective. Variety hinted that while there had been discussions about continuing the story in a sequel, there is no official confirmation.

Nicholas Galitzine Discusses Potential Interest in Sequel

In a chat with Marc Malkin on the Just for Variety podcast, Nicholas Galitzine talked about the chance of a sequel to “Purple Hearts” while hyping up “Red, White & Royal Blue.” The interview was taped before the SAG-AFTRA strike but released during that time. Galitzine acknowledged the fan interest in a sequel. However, she remained cautious not to fuel any unwarranted expectations, emphasizing that there are no official announcements beyond fan speculation. He also mentioned the ongoing strikes affecting film and television productions, being careful not to offend anyone.

Conclusion: Purple Hearts 2 Release Date

Is it still dismal to hear that nothing is confirmed? Yes. However, it certainly is a plus that the duo is still on the up and up and all in for a second rom-com together as an on-screen pair. Considering the fact that Purple Hearts just officially debuted, it’s a long road ahead before Netflix even makes mention of a sequel. At this time, the streaming site has not confirmed that Purple Hearts 2 is coming or given the first love story about Army medic Cassie (Carson) and injured soldier Luke (Galitzine) any kind of resolution just yet. 

It seems safe at this time to say that there will be love stories to come on Netflix as far as the eye can see, confirmed sequel or not. If in another movie Luke and Cassie don’t exactly have the most straightforward love stories … well, Carson and Galitzine will always always have Luke and Cassie to reminisce about. Seriously, Netflix — get on that sequel, would you? Even if it doesn’t happen, it seems safe to say that Purple Hearts is most definitely a watch-it-once kind of movie.
