Palm Springs was one of my favorite films of 2020 and while I would love their story to continue in a sequel, I did not think one was even possible. However, while speaking with RadioTimes, Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti seem ready to return should the opportunity arise.
“All we need is an incredible script,” Samberg said, adding that’s there’s a lot of different directions the potential sequel could go.
“I feel like even the way that the movie ends is slightly open-ended, depending on your interpretation. So it could be marital bliss or it could be sort of a WandaVision situation. You’re not sure exactly where they are.”
Cristin Milioti added that they spoke about a Palm Springs sequel on the set quite a lot.
I remember us all joking about doing sort of a Before Sunrise thing with it, where you visit them three different times throughout their lives. So maybe we would do another one in 10 years and see what’s happened to them.
“But what I also love about the ending is, in my opinion, the ending is quite ambiguous. I know I have a very different idea of how it ends than Andy Samberg and from [writer] Andy Siara and [director] Max [Barbakow]; the four of us have entirely different ideas for it, which I love. So I guess we’d all have to get on the same page for a sequel.”
Time will tell if we ever do get a sequel, however, the film still remains one of the best of 2020 and one that should be seen.
