Three Steps Above Heaven 3 is one of the most common questions about the Spanish romantic duology starring Mario Casas. The short answer: as of November 10, 2026, a third film has not been officially announced, although a sequel novel exists. Here is which films exist, in what order to watch them, what the “part 3 trailers” on YouTube really are and which Netflix series you should not confuse with them. No spoilers for the endings.
In short
- There are two Spanish films: Three Steps Above Heaven (2010) and I Want You (2012).
- Both remake Italian films from 2004 and 2007 based on Federico Moccia’s novels.
- The third novel, Tre volte te, came out in 2017, but no adaptation has been announced as of 10.11.2026.
- The Netflix series Summertime is not a sequel but a separate story.
Three Steps Above Heaven in order: all the films
| Year | Film | Country | Leads |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2004 | Tre metri sopra il cielo | Italy | Riccardo Scamarcio, Katy Saunders |
| 2007 | Ho voglia di te | Italy | Riccardo Scamarcio, Laura Chiatti |
| 2010 | Three Steps Above Heaven | Spain | Mario Casas, María Valverde |
| 2012 | I Want You | Spain | Mario Casas, Clara Lago, María Valverde |
The easiest order is the 2010 Spanish film first, then its 2012 sequel. The Italian versions tell the same story with a different cast, set in Rome rather than Barcelona; watch them separately if you want to compare.
The Spanish duology with Mario Casas
Three Steps Above Heaven (2010)
Official trailer · “Three Steps Above Heaven” (2010)Three Steps Above Heaven is a Spanish romantic drama based on Federico Moccia’s novel. Babi (María Valverde) is a model student from a wealthy Barcelona family; Hache (Mario Casas) is a jobless rebel who rides in illegal street races and keeps getting into fights. They come from different worlds, yet fall in love for the first time. The film opened in Spain on December 3, 2010 and, according to Spanish Wikipedia, became the highest-grossing Spanish film of the year; screenwriter Ramón Salazar earned a Goya nomination.
I Want You (2012)
Official trailer · “I Want You” (2012)The sequel opened in Spain on June 22, 2012. After two years in London, Hache returns to Barcelona and runs into Gin (Clara Lago), a free spirit who knows no limits. Things feel easy with her, until meeting Babi again turns everything upside down. It was shot in Barcelona and, according to Spanish Wikipedia, took more than €12 million at the Spanish box office, beating the first film.
The Italian originals and Moccia’s novels
Both stories come from Italian writer and screenwriter Federico Moccia. His first novel, Tre metri sopra il cielo, came out in a small print run in 1992 and only became a bestseller after its 2004 reissue; the same year, Luca Lucini’s Italian film adaptation with Riccardo Scamarcio as Step hit cinemas. The sequel novel, Ho voglia di te, followed in 2006, and its film version opened in Italy on March 9, 2007. According to English Wikipedia, the success of the book and film started the trend of fixing “love padlocks” to Rome’s Ponte Milvio.
Will there be a Three Steps Above Heaven 3?
A sequel novel does exist. In 2017 Moccia published Tre volte te (“Three Times You”), which Italian Wikipedia describes as the third and final chapter of the story of Babi, Step (called Hache in the Spanish films) and Gin; the Spanish edition came out the same year as Tres veces tú. But as of November 10, 2026, no film adaptation has been officially announced: no studio has said anything, and Wikipedia has no record of one either.
Beware of “trailers”. YouTube has been full of videos titled “Three Steps Above Heaven 3 official trailer” for years. They are fan edits of scenes from the first two films: there is no official trailer for a third part.
Summertime on Netflix: don’t mix them up
Netflix in Ukraine carries the series Summertime, listed there under a title that translates as “Three Meters Above the Sky”, so it is often mistaken for a sequel. In fact it is a separate Italian teen drama inspired by Moccia’s first novel: introverted Summer meets motorcycle racer Ale one summer on the Adriatic coast, in the town of Cesenatico. It premiered on Netflix on April 29, 2020 and ended in 2022 after 3 seasons and 24 episodes. As of November 10, 2026, it is available with Ukrainian subtitles.
Where to watch the Spanish films in Ukraine
As of November 10, 2026, we could not find the Spanish duology in the MEGOGO catalog, and Wikidata lists no Netflix ID for either film, so we found no official service carrying them in Ukraine. We will update this article if they become legally available. According to Ukrainian Wikipedia, the first film opened in Ukrainian cinemas on November 3, 2011 and the second on July 5, 2012.
