\n\tThe story of Olive Smith and Adam Carlsen will continue in a book sequel. <\/p>\n
\n\tAuthor Ali Hazelwood<\/a> announced Tuesday that she will release a sequel, The Two-Body Problem next February. The sequel is in early development and comes amid the recent release of Prime Video\u2018s adaptation of Hazelwood\u2018s bestseller The Love Hypothesis<\/a>, starring Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman.<\/p>\n \n\tSharing the cover on her social media Hazelwood wrote, \u201c\u2018I wrote a sequel to The Love Hypothesis<\/a>\u2018 is not a sentence I thought I\u2019d say a year or so ago, but now I weirdly can\u2019t imagine a world in which The Two-Body Problem doesn\u2019t exist. I\u2019m really eager to talk more about this book and how it came about in the next few months. For now let me just say that the TLH movie and its cast made me fall for Adam and Olive all over again, that revisiting them was an absolute pleasure.\u201c<\/p>\n \n\tShe continued, \u201cAs someone who gets VERY attached to stories and characters, I know that unannounced sequels can be blindsiding, so feel free to skip this book and overwrite it with whatever headcanon you prefer, and I\u2019ll see you on the next one! But if you want to read more about Adam and Olive, The Two-Body Problem spans a couple of years, and it\u2019s a mix of slice of life, postdoctoral turmoil, and unflinching exploration of the hardest challenge one will face in a long-term relationship: deciding what to have for dinner. If you pick it up, I really hope you enjoy.\u201c<\/p>\n \n\tThough she prefaced that \u201cnothing is guaranteed,\u201c Hazelwood also announced, \u201cMRC is developing a film based on the The Two-Body Problem for Amazon MGM Studios.\u201c Further details were not shared. <\/p>\n \n\tSince its publication in 2021, The Love Hypothesis has since become a full-blown phenomenon \u2014 a New York Times bestseller, a BookTok obsession and a career launchpad, turning Hazelwood into a household name. Her books<\/a> have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, several already in the book-to-screen pipeline.<\/p>\n \n\tThe film adaptation, which premiered on Sept. 23 on Prime Video, was directed by Claire Scanlon and produced by Elizabeth Cantillon. <\/p>\n \n\tThe romance<\/a>, which began as Star Wars\u2019 Reylo fan fiction (featuring Daisy Ridley\u2019s Rey and Adam Driver\u2019s Kylo Ren), follows Olive Smith (Reinhart<\/a>), a graduate student and Stanford Ph.D. candidate who embarks on a fake romance with the notoriously stern Adam Carlsen (Bateman<\/a>), known as \u201cDr. Evil\u201d to his students. The move is solely to reassure her friend Anh<\/a> (Rachel Marsh) that Olive\u2019s feelings for her bestie\u2019s current love interest are entirely behind her.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Two-Body Problem book will be published on Feb. 2, 2027. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The story of Olive Smith and Adam Carlsen will continue in a book sequel.
