DirectorWill Gluckhas attributed the triumph of the film to the viewers. He said viaBloombergthat the positive reactions and word-of-mouth helped promote the movie, which also contributes to the possibility of getting a sequel.

Fans Don’t Want A Follow-Up ToAnyone But You
While Sydney Sweeney feels thrilled to have a possible sequel, there are fans who do not think it necessary. Some expressed their sentiments regarding Hollywood’s obsession with follow-up movies. Check out their tweets below:
when actors have amazing chemistry in a romcom you aren’t supposed to make a sequel. you’re supposed to make a brand new movie and cast those actors as leads again. and do that for about 5 different movies. THIS is the formula.https://t.co/K5FBaaTKkJ

I ain’t never heard of a rom com sequel. Baby these are stand alone movies. Go find each other somewhere else! This is why we hated speed 2! Rom coms dont get sequels! They get spin offs! Ugh!!

Yesssss. The best thing about the movie was their chemistry, the characters themselves were generic, forgettable and kinda annoying. I don’t want a sequel about Ben and Bea. I want a new movie with Sydney and Glen.

Example: Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone

As one Twitter user pointed out, actors who find great chemistry with one another should embark on new projects rather than rehashing the same story in a sequel. Another one remarked that Hollywood should have learned from its past mistakes as well as followed the footsteps of those who succeeded in the game.
In the aforementioned post, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling’sLa La Landwas a massive hit, not to mention Oscar-worthy. Up until now, there are no plans for a sequel because the film itself does not require it. The duo has even shared the screen in three different movies (Gangster Squad,Crazy Stupid Love, andLa La Land), and yet their chemistry remained top-notch.

Sydney Sweeney might be committing a career mistake by allowing a sequel to happen based on the international success of her film. As suggested by a fan, she and Glen Powell should work on a new project instead.
Anyone But Youcan be purchased digitally via Prime Video.
