After the whirlwind events of Anyone But You, where Bea and Ben’s fake romance at an Australian wedding unexpectedly bloomed into something real, fans were left wondering: what happens after the credits roll? In this imagined continuation, Anyone But You: The Next Chapter, the charming chaos of new love transitions into something deeper—and more complicated.
The film picks up six months after the wedding. Bea has returned to New York to resume her work in psychology, while Ben remains in Los Angeles, focusing on his passion project: opening a local surf and coffee shop. The long-distance is romantic at first—late-night FaceTimes, surprise visits, and love letters. But soon, the cracks begin to show. Time zones clash. Careers compete. And the honeymoon phase starts to fade.
When Bea is offered a year-long fellowship in London, everything is thrown into question. Ben is supportive—but hesitant. They had always joked that their love story started with a lie (pretending to be a couple), but now the truth feels even harder to navigate. Are they just trying to preserve the magic of the past, or can they build a future?In this sequel, the humor and chemistry remain intact. Bea is still meticulous, anxious, and delightfully sarcastic. Ben continues to be spontaneous, loyal, and emotionally open in ways that frustrate and charm Bea. Their arguments are passionate—full of wit and heart. But their love is tested by distance, doubt, and personal growth.
One of the most heartfelt scenes comes when Ben unexpectedly shows up in London during a rainstorm, holding a sign that reads, “Anyone but you, always you.” It’s cliché. It’s dramatic. And it’s exactly what Bea needs to hear. But rather than wrapping everything in a neat romantic bow, the film allows space for uncertainty. They don’t have all the answers, but they decide to try—together.
Anyone But You: The Next Chapter explores what it means to choose love every day, not just during vacations and weddings. It’s about the messy, awkward, and beautiful journey of real commitment. The sequel deepens the emotional stakes while preserving the humor and magic that made the original so endearing.
Ultimately, this continuation shows that love isn’t just about grand gestures or fairy-tale moments. Sometimes, it’s about fighting for each other, forgiving mistakes, and learning to grow—not in spite of your differences, but because of them.In the end, Bea and Ben don’t promise perfection. But they promise presence. And in today’s world, that might just be the most romantic thing of all.
