Me Before You Sequel: Will There Be a Part 2, Cast and Where to Watch

Is there a Me Before You sequel? It is one of the most common questions about the 2016 romantic drama Me Before You. The short answer: as of November 9, 2026, no second film has been officially announced. The books do continue, though: Jojo Moyes wrote two more novels about Lou Clark. Below is what is known about a sequel, who plays whom in the film and where to watch it in Ukraine. The first film’s story is covered without spoilers until a clearly marked point.

In short

There is no Me Before You 2, and the studios have not announced one. The book story continues in the novels After You (2015) and Still Me (2018), plus the 2020 short story Lou in Lockdown. The film stars Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin. In Ukraine you can watch it on MEGOGO.

What Me Before You is about

The film is the directorial debut of British theater director Thea Sharrock. Jojo Moyes herself adapted the screenplay from her 2012 novel. Louisa “Lou” Clark from the fictional English town of Stokebridge takes a job as a caretaker for Will Traynor. He was once a successful banker and sportsman, but two years earlier he was hit by a motorcycle and is now paralyzed. Will’s mother hopes Lou can lift him out of his depression and cynicism.

The film was shot in the UK: Pembroke Castle in Wales stands in for the Traynors’ estate, the wedding scenes were filmed at Chenies Manor House in Buckinghamshire, and the Mauritius on screen is actually Mallorca. It premiered in the UK and North America on June 3, 2016. Critics were mixed, mostly praising the chemistry between Clarke and Claflin, while audiences polled by CinemaScore gave it an “A”. It grossed $208.4 million worldwide on a $20 million budget.

The novel itself came out in 2012 and was Moyes’s breakthrough: according to Wikipedia, it sold six million copies and went to number one in nine countries. In Ukrainian, KSD published the book in 2016 under the same title as the film, “До зустрічі з тобою”.

Will there be a Me Before You sequel?

As of November 9, 2026, neither Warner Bros. nor MGM has announced a sequel to the film. The Wikipedia articles on the film and the novel do not mention plans for one either. If you come across a “Me Before You 2 trailer” on YouTube, check the channel: official trailers come from studios and distributors, and clips from other channels usually turn out to be fan edits.

The book sequel does exist. After You was published in the UK on September 29, 2015; in Ukrainian, KSD released it as “Після тебе”. The third novel, Still Me, came out in January 2018; the Ukrainian edition is “Та сама я” (KSD, 2018). The short story Lou in Lockdown (2020) completes the series. So if you want to know what happened to Lou next, you will have to read.

After You continues Louisa’s story after Will’s death. She moves to London and works at an airport bar; after a fall from the roof of her building she joins a support group, and then Lily turns up — Will’s daughter, whom nobody knew about. Paramedic Sam enters her life, and her friend Nathan offers Lou a job in the United States.
