Joel Kim Booster says a sequel to Fire Island is “not off the table”. Released on 3 June to universal critical acclaim, the Pride and Prejudice-inspired rom-com follows two best friends (Booster and Bowen Yang) as they embark on their annual weeklong vacation to the titular gay hotspot.

Fire Island, which was also written by Booster, has been lauded for its script and performances, as well as its refreshing rejection of queer trauma tropes.

Fortunately, Booster says a sequel or a spiritual sequel set in another popular gay destination, such as Mykonos or Puerto Vallarta, and starring the original cast is “not off the table”. “Yeah, a real anthology series!” he teases. “While I don’t know that I necessarily feel all the way inspired to write another gay vacation movie at this time, I would definitely do anything to work with this cast again. “Maybe what will happen is I’ll do an And Just Like That… sort of style film in 20 years from now.
