10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU Director Says a Sequel Is "Definitively in the Works" With Hopes of a New Trilogy — GeekTyrant
10 Things I Hate About You is a quintessential representation of late 90s/early 2000s coming-of-age teen romantic comedies that has stuck around and stayed a fan-favorite since it was released in 1999. The cast was perfect, and the movie had everything you could want, from angsty teens to grand romantic gestures, and big musical numbers to a prom and a happily ever after. Now, the film's director, Gil Junger, said he is working on a follow-up trilogy with original 10 Things producer Andrew Lazar. The first film is titled 10 Things I Hate About Dating , and would be followed by 10 Things I Hate About Marriage , and 10 Things I Hate About Kids . ' 10 Things I Hate About Dating is definitively in the works as a feature film,' Junger told Variety. 'We're developing it right now.' Junger went on to say that he would 'love' to work with Julia Stiles again because her 10 Things character, Kat Stratford, 'really spoke to young women in a very powerful way.' He also mentioned Larry Miller, who played Kat's father, as a possible returning cast member, although he admitted he 'hasn't thought' too much about casting yet. 'If it resonates with [the original cast] and I can have some cameos or even real parts, I'd love [that],' Junger said. The original 10 Things I Hate About You chronicles the life of Stiles' Kat Stratford, a witty but unpopular teen who lives in the shadow of her overachieving younger sister Bianca, played by Larisa Oleynik. However, her lonely adolescence is remedied when she meets outcast bad boy Patrick Verona, played by the late Heath Ledger. Ledger died in 2008 at 28 years old. When asked if he would use the films to in part honor Ledger's life, Junger said, 'I think that's a beautiful idea, and the answer is now going to be yes. …He deserves to be loved.'

Gil Junger, the director of the beloved 1999 teen rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You, is back with big plans and they involve not just one, but three new films. While chatting with People, Junger revealed that he's developing a follow-up called 10 Things I Hate About Dating, with original producer Andrew Lazar on board.

Junger says the sequel will focus on characters in their 30s, and while it charts new territory, he hasn't ruled out appearances from the original cast. 'I would love to work with Julia Stiles again,' he told People. 'Have some cameos or even real parts for those who were in the original film.'
