Sydney Sweeney Reveals Where Anyone But You 2 Is Headed Next

Rom-com fans, you are not imagining it: after that surprise runaway hit, Sydney Sweeney sounds very ready to do Anyone But You 2. And yes, she addressed the whole media frenzy around her and Glen Powell while she was at it.

First, about that press narrative

In a new Variety chat, Sweeney looked back at how the coverage around Anyone But You basically turned her real-life friendship with Powell into a storyline of its own. Her take: the media did most of the heavy lifting, reading into every photo op and inch of personal space. She says she and Powell genuinely like and respect each other, and audiences responded to that on-screen chemistry. Simple as that.

So, are we getting a sequel?

Sweeney did not dance around it. If the right idea shows up, she and Powell are in.

"We are always open to it. I think that when the right concept and script come to Glen and I, we will jump in hand in hand."

Translation: there is no script yet, but the door is very much open.

Why a follow-up makes sense

The 2023 rom-com was that rare modern box-office Cinderella story, clearing more than $220 million worldwide. That kind of number tends to get studios reaching for a whiteboard and a marker labeled Sequel Ideas.

Quick refresher on who was in the first one

• Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell
• Alexandra Shipp
• GaTa
• Hadley Robinson
• Michelle Hurd
• Dermot Mulroney
• Darren Barnet
• Bryan Brown
• Rachel Griffiths

Bottom line: Sweeney is game, Powell is game, the audience clearly showed up, and the only missing piece is a concept that actually deserves the plane ticket back to Australia. If that lands, expect them to jump back in, hand in hand.
