Ali Hazelwood Announces 'The Love Hypothesis' Sequel and New Film Adaptation
The sequel continues Olive Smith and Adam Carlsen’s story as MRC develops a film adaptation for Amazon MGM Studios, Hazelwood said.
On Tuesday, author Ali Hazelwood announced she is releasing a sequel to her 2021 novel 'The Love Hypothesis,' titled 'The Two-Body Problem.' Hazelwood revealed the news on Instagram, sharing the book's cover art.
The original novel became a New York Times bestseller and a BookTok sensation since its 2021 release. Its popularity spurred a film adaptation starring Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman, which premiered on Prime Video last week.
'The Two-Body Problem' spans a couple of years, exploring long-term relationship challenges between two researchers. Hazelwood describes the story as a "mix of slice of life, postdoctoral turmoil" and the realities of academic dating.
MRC is developing a film adaptation of the sequel for Amazon MGM Studios, though Hazelwood cautioned that "nothing is guaranteed." This project follows the recent streaming success of the first movie.
Preorders are already open on Barnes & Noble and Amazon for the February 2, 2027 release, with availability expanding soon to retailers including Bookshop.org, Walmart, and Target.
