Will there be a sequel for Netflix's Look Both Ways?

Netflix are yet to announce a sequel for Look Both Ways. However, there are a couple of indications that hint a follow-up isn't necessarily going to happen.

For starters, the movie ends with a pretty final ending. Viewers see Natalie's life played out in different scenarios: one where she gets pregnant, has a baby, and marries her childhood sweetheart; and another where she isn't pregnant and pursues her career, before finding love later in life. Therefore the ending leaves no loose ends to continue in a sequel.

Lili Reinhart stars in Netflix film Look Both Ways

Not only that, leading actress Lili is yet to indicate whether a second movie will appear. In a recent interview she said: "Here's a happy ending, and there's not one life that's worse or better than the other," she said. "We wanted people to take away from the film that you have options, and your life doesn't have to look a certain way for you to feel happy."
