Uglies 2 is all we can think about after swiftly working our way through Netflix’s newly released Uglies movie.
Based on a book series of the same title by Scott Westerfield, the film centres on a dystopian society in which everyone is deemed an “ugly” though turned into a “Pretty” through some fairly major mandatory cosmetic surgery once they turn 16. Following Tally Youngblood’s story, Uglies explores the darker reality behind becoming a “Pretty”.
So will we be getting an Uglies 2 film, AKA Pretties? Here’s what we know about a potential Uglies sequel so far.

Has Uglies 2 (Pretties movie) been confirmed?
Though Uglies 2 is yet to be confirmed by Netflix, the ending of the film definitely leaves things open for a sequel.
Author Scott Westerfeld wrote four books in his Uglies series, with the second being called Pretties and third titled Specials, with his most recent book from the series Extras being a companion to the Uglies series.
Westerfield later revisited the setting later on in his Imposter series, so it’s safe to say that there’s plenty of material to be working with in further potential films!
In a recent interview, Uglies lead and executive producer Joey King said “There’s more books. More books. I mean, there’s always, there’s worlds in which things that happen,”
She added, “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. And really enjoying the moment here.”
Naturally, it depends on how well received the first Uglies film is on Netflix, though we remain hopeful for a potential Pretties movie!
