Uglies 2 potential release date, cast and more about Pretties

As a die-hard fan of dystopian young adult literature and a binge-watcher of Netflix originals, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of ‘Uglies 2’, or should I say ‘Pretties’ since that’s what the sequel is actually called. Having devoured every book in Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies series and being thrilled by Joey King’s executive production of the first movie, I can’t help but feel a tinge of excitement as we wait for Netflix to confirm the sequel.


Although Netflix hasn’t officially confirmed it yet, the ending of Uglies certainly sets up the potential for a sequel titled Uglies 2.

Author Scott Westerfeld continued his “Uglies” series with a sequel titled “Pretties,” followed by the final installment, “Specials.” He also added a fourth book to the trilogy called “Extras.” A decade later, he revisited this world with the “Imposters” series.

It’s clear to fans that there’s plenty more story left in this world, and Joey King, both an executive producer of Uglies and a star, also recognizes this fact.

“There’s more books, more books. There’s worlds in which things that happen… We’re really excited for people to see this one, and we’re excited for the future of these characters and to see what people enjoy,” she told ScreenRant.

Just as before, the success of “Uglies” on Netflix will determine the situation, but until then, let me share with you all the essential details about “Uglies 2,” also known as “Pretties.

Warning: Uglies spoilers follow.

Uglies 2 potential release date: When can we expect Pretties?

It hasn’t been officially announced by Netflix when the sequel to “Uglies 2” will be released, so there’s no set date at the moment.

It’s challenging to predict when a possible sequel might be released, considering the hold-ups in the initial movie’s production schedule. The filming for Uglies concluded in late 2021, followed by some reported reshoots in early 2024, and finally, it was streamed on Netflix on September 13, 2024.

It seems unusual that we would need to wait almost three years from filming to release for the sequel. In all probability, the movie won’t be out in 2025, and if it does get made, we could potentially have to wait until 2026 for its premiere.

This is all speculation for now, so we’ll update this page whenever we hear more news.

Uglies 2 cast: Who could come back in Pretties?

Based on the content of the novel “Pretties”, we might speculate on which characters could appear again in “Uglies 2”. However, it’s important to note that these are just predictions as nothing has been officially confirmed yet.

It is anticipated that Joey King will reprise her role as Tally Youngblood, with Keith Powers playing David, Brianne Tju as Shay, Jan Luis Castellanos as Croy, and Laverne Cox as Dr. Cable joining the cast. This is among other actors who will also be part of the ensemble.

If Troy (Chase Stokes) manages to survive his fall at the end of the book “Uglies“, we can expect him to reprise his role as Peris in the subsequent novel. Yet, should a film sequel materialize, it might opt for a different narrative path.

As a gamer exploring the vibrant world of Pretties, I stumble upon a fresh gang called the Crims in New Pretty Town. In the upcoming sequel, it’s clear that key characters like Zane, the founder of the Crims, and Fausto, a member of their ranks, will play significant roles.

Uglies 2 plot: What happens in Pretties?

Besides a significant shift concerning Peris, the storyline of Uglies generally unfolds as written and concludes in a similar manner. Tally decides to transform into a Pretty, serving as a test subject for Maddy’s treatment aimed at curing brain lesions.

In the follow-up novel titled “Pretties“, we find Tally basking in her existence as a Pretty, yet never losing sight of the feeling that something is amiss. However, when a message from her past unexpectedly arrives, it irrevocably alters the course of her new life.

Tally must decide whether to struggle to erase her knowledge or battle to preserve the life she used to know.

In the upcoming book sequel, Peris plays a significant role at crucial points. If the film adaptation decides to end his character’s life post-events in “Uglies”, then the sequel must find ways to accommodate this change.

Uglies 2 trailer: Any footage of Pretties?

I regret to inform you that as of now, the sequel to “Uglies” titled “Uglies 2” has not been announced, much less filmed. Given that the initial trailer for “Uglies” was released just a month prior to its premiere, it seems we’ll have to be patient for any updates regarding the sequel.

Uglies is available to watch now on Netflix.
