The film, about a group of gay best friends who reunite for a week-long island vacation, was a hit with critics, and people took to social media to demand a sequel.
What is Fire Island about?
Fire Island is loosely based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but as we reviewed, there are no women in corsets or button-down blouses. The film is about a group of gay men who meet on an island for a week of sun, sand every year, but on this occasion two men, Noah and Howie, meet several boys. is the key to true love and lifelong relationships.
Of course, the road to true love rarely runs smoothly, and that's the case for Noah and Howie. But if you know anything about Jane Austen's classic story, you'll know that there is promise of love for at least one of the couples if they can curb their pride and put aside their prejudices in the meantime.
Will there be a Fire Island 2?
According to the film's star and writer Joel Kim Booster (Noah), the sequel is likely to be set in another popular gay vacation spot.
So, while there's no definite word on a sequel yet, it's clear that there's potential for a sequel as the cast and crew want to work on something together. Let's hope it won't be in 20 years.
While we appreciate Booster's idea for a sequel twenty years from now, it's too long to wait for anyone desperate to see the Fire Island vacationers sooner than 2042!
What could Fire Island 2 be about?
Jane Austen didn't write a sequel to Pride and Prejudice, so there's no source material for Booster or any writer to work from. However, they could still create a story based on another novel by the author.
They could build a sequel around Persuasion , for example, a story about a woman who rekindles her love for the man she once convinced her not to marry. In Fire Island, Howie is warned against a relationship with a man named Charlie due to their difference in social status, and although they end up together at the end of the film, the sequel may begin with them drifting apart. Howie's fear of class differences.
Or the filmmakers could ditch Austen entirely and create something original. At the end of Fire Island, Noah and Will are reunited, but their story doesn't have a clear ending. He may be in town or on another vacation island to see if they can continue their relationship.
No Real News
These are just a few possibilities, but for now we can only speculate as there is no real news of any upcoming sequel. Maybe now is the time to brush up on Jane Austen if you want to share your thoughts with the team behind Fire Island.
