Uh-oh, we’re in for disappointing news.

Joel Kim Booster’s 2022 gay remake of the classic Pride and Prejudice will not receive a sequel.

‘Fire Island’s official synopsis reads, “A group of queer best friends gather in the Fire Island Pines for their annual week of love and laughter, but when a sudden change of events jeopardizes their summer in gay paradise, their bonds as a chosen family are pushed to the limit.”

In an interview with PRIDE, ‘Fire Island’ star Matt Rogers dispelled rumors circulating that a second movie is in the works and said a sequel will not be happening despite the film receiving rave reviews.

“I think that Fire Island might be just what it is. I don’t think you’ll see a sequel, which I think is actually okay. I think that not everything needs a sequel. Some things can be beautiful on their own,” Rogers said in the interview.

The actor added that he is not closing his doors if Booster changes his mind and promised to be on board with the sequel.

However, as it is right now, ‘Fire Island’ may never get a follow-up but Rogers and the entire cast including Booster, Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora, and the others, are extremely thankful that the film received so much love from viewers, fans, and critics.

“It will always be one of my proudest moments. I’m so happy that it was warmly received by the queer community, because we can be tough on ourselves and art that represents us. For everyone to come together and really support that movie is so meaningful,” he said.
