Others couldn't resist taking to the comments to ask Joanne to ask about the future of the show and whether a second film is on the cards.

A third enquired about a sequel to the 2019 film adaptation of the show, which is reportedly on the cards, asking: "Is it true there’s another movie coming out?"
