Following the release of Netflix’s “Uglies,” fans are buzzing with anticipation for a potential sequel based on Scott Westerfield’s popular book series. While Netflix has yet to confirm plans for a “Pretties” movie, the ending of the film definitely suggests a continuation of Tally Youngblood’s story.
The “Uglies” film, faithful to the first book in the series, explores a dystopian society where everyone undergoes mandatory cosmetic surgery at age 16 to become “Pretty”. The film, starring Joey King, ends with Tally questioning the realities of her “Pretty” life, leaving viewers wanting more.
Author Scott Westerfield’s “Uglies” series spans four books, providing ample material for potential sequels. Joey King, executive producer and star of the film, has hinted at the possibility of future installments, stating, “There’s more books… We’re really excited for the future of these characters and to see what people enjoy.”
However, the timeline for a “Pretties” film remains uncertain. The first film faced delays due to reshoots, and the success of the “Uglies” movie will ultimately determine Netflix’s decision. Despite the unknowns, fans are hopeful that a “Pretties” movie could arrive as early as 2026.
While a “Pretties” film is still in the realm of speculation, fans can anticipate the return of familiar faces like Joey King and Chase Stokes. New characters, such as the Crims, are also likely to be introduced.
Stay tuned for official confirmation from Netflix on the future of the “Uglies” franchise!
