Love Hard 2: Happening Or Nor? What Do We Know About The Netflix Rom-Com Sequel?

Netflix ushered in the most festive season of the year with Love Hard a romantic comedy starring Nina Dobrev as an ill-fated writer who discovers she was tricked into a dating app by what she thought was her sweetheart. Natalie flies from Los Angeles to Lake Placid with the intent to surprise Josh the guy she was writing to. He, however, is not who he says he is and used the photo of an acquaintance of his, Tag to impress the girl.

Love Hard immediately jumped to the top of Netflix’s most viewed titles. In addition, the ending gave the protagonist a happy ending. However, the question arises: will there be a sequel? Here’s everything we know.

How Did Love Hard End Up?

Although Natalie is initially angry at Josh for deceiving her, throughout the film it is clear that there is a feeling between the two. On the contrary, Natalie discovers that she has nothing to like with Tag: aesthetically she represents her ideal type, but temperamentally it is her opposite. Natalie works hard to try and make their attraction work, but in the end she only realizes that she is lying to herself. The writer realizes that she has fallen in love with Josh and draws inspiration from Love Actually (in a reproduction of a very famous scene) to declare her love for him.

What Will Happen In Love Hard 2?

Love Hard is finished with Natalie and Josh who officially get engaged after having exchanged a tender kiss at the home of his family. A possible sequel could be set a year later, again under the Christmas holidays. The new couple this time would be struggling with her parents or relatives. The engagement and the whole story of how they met could give rise to a series of fun new and embarrassing misconceptions about the style of the first film. Also, now happy with Josh, Natalie may have to change the tone of her online stories: what if readers are tired of reading cheesy and happy ending stories and want “old” Natalie, the unlucky girl in love?

The character of Tag, albeit secondary, was useful to make Natalie understand that she was really in love with Josh. Could his return hinder the love between the two? Either way, there is potential to continue the story.

Who Will Return To The Cast?

If Netflix were to make a Love Hard sequel, it’s unclear which characters will return. Natalie and Josh’s romance had its culmination at the end of the first film, but there’s always a chance to explore new misadventures for the couple.

If so, who will we see again? Definitely the two protagonists: Nina Dobrev as the brilliant writer of romantic online stories Natalie, and Jimmy O. Yang as Josh, who as a clumsy nerd has decided to cultivate his hobby for pottery. The cast of the first film also includes: Harry Shum Jr. as Owen, Josh’s exhibitionist brother, James Saito is Bob, Mikaela Hoover is Chelsea, Owen’s girlfriend, Rebecca Staab is Barb, and Matty Finochio is Lee, Natalie’s demanding boss.
