Paramount is doubling down on Heart Eyes. The studio has has set a Valentine’s Day weekend release date of Feb. 11, 2028.
Paramount will co-produce and co-finance Heart Eyes 2 along with Spyglass Media Group and handle global distribution. (Sony had domestic on the first film, while Paramount handled international for the for the romantic slasher sequel.)
Mason Gooding and Olivia Hoult starred in the first movie as co-workers mistaken for a couple by a killer who targets romantic partners on Valentine’s day. It earned $33.1 million globally after opening Valentine Day Weekend last year.
Josh Ruben directed the first Heart Eyes and will return to direct and co-write the sequel script with Darcy Fowler, from a story by Christopher Landon and Michael Kennedy. (Landon and Kennedy wrote the script for the first movie with Phillip Murphy.) Landonand Divide/Conquerwill produce the feature.
At this stage, it’s too early to say if if Gooding or Hoult will return for the sequel. Ruben made the original film in near record time, pitching it on Valentine’s Day weekend in 2024, with the film arriving in theaters a year later. “We really hustled, and it’s truly a nine-month baby,” he told THR upon release. This time, there will be a little bit more breathing room to hit that 2028 date.
