The movie Love Actually (2003) is one of the most iconic romantic comedies, leaving a lasting impression on audiences for over two decades. Recently, rumors about a sequel titled Love Actually: Always and Forever (2025) have sparked excitement among fans. But what is the truth behind these reports, and can audiences expect a memorable return in the near future?
Speculation about a sequel to Love Actually started spreading on social media in early 2024. Some unofficial sources claimed that the original cast, including Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, and Liam Neeson, had agreed to return for the new installment.
Additionally, there were reports suggesting that director Richard Curtis was secretly developing a script for the film, focusing on the lives of the characters 20 years later as they navigate changes in family, careers, and love.
In reality, there has been no official announcement from Universal Pictures or Richard Curtis about a sequel to Love Actually. Curtis himself has previously stated that he has no plans for a second installment, as he believes the original film already conveys its messages about love and life fully.
However, the Love Actually universe did not completely end. In 2017, the cast reunited for a short film titled Red Nose Day Actually, which aired as part of the Red Nose Day charity event. This served as a small continuation, offering updates on some of the characters 14 years later.
