Fire Island: Conrad Ricamora breaks silence on a potential sequel
Conrad Ricamora has shared his idea for a Fire Island sequel, and we need this film ASAP. Back in June 2022, LGBTQIA+ movie enthusiasts were treated to the Andrew Ahn- directed romantic comedy.
Inspired by Jane Austen’s classic tale, Pride and Prejudice, the film follows two best friends (Joel Kim Booster and Bowen Yang) as they embark on their annual weeklong vacation to the titular gay hotspot.
Upon its release, Fire Island, also written by Booster, was lauded for its rejection of harmful queer trauma tropes and for its celebration and glorification of LGBTQ+ culture (and Marisa Tomei’s Academy Award-winning role in My Cousin Vinny, of course).
While it has been two years since the Searchlight Pictures film launched on Hulu in the United States and Disney Plus in international territories, fans (including us) have not let up on calling for a sequel.
