\n\tThere is more Olive Smith and Adam Carlsen in our future, Ali Hazelwood<\/a>, author of bestseller The Love Hypothesis<\/a>, announced Tuesday that she is releasing a book sequel, titled The Two-Body Problem<\/a>, in February. Additionally, MRC<\/a> is developing a film for Amazon MGM Studios<\/a>, based on the sequel, she revealed.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI wrote a sequel to The Love Hypothesis\u201d 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,\u201d Hazelwood wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the book cover. \u201cI\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.\u201d<\/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.\u201d<\/p>\n
