The author of 'Call Me By Your Name', André Aciman, has confirmed that he is currently working on a sequel to the beloved book and Oscar-winning film.
"I would actually love a sequel to Call Me by Your Name," Aciman tweeted.
"In fact I am writing one."
While he didn't specify whether he was writing the follow-up as a screenplay or novel, the news is in line with previous speculation surrounding a second film.
Fans were quick to celebrate the news, with actor Armie Hammer, who starred in the film adaptation, responding with "BOOM!"
According to Deadline, actor Michael Stuhlbarg, who played Elio’s father in the critically acclaimed 2017 film, said that both director Luca Guadagnino and author André Aciman were seriously considering work on a sequel.
“He [Guadagnino] seems to think that we might be able to pick up the action a few years later,” Stuhlbarg said, “to see what’s happened to these characters and the choices they’ve made, and life after this particularly momentous summer for them all."
He added: "But it sounds like something he’s serious about, and André Aciman is thrilled I think at the idea.”
