Disney+ Moving Forward on a ‘Stargirl’ Sequel

Disney+ is moving forward on a sequel to their 2020 original romantic drama movie, Stargirl, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Director Julia Hart will return to direct with star Grace VanderWaal, who will this time be joined by actor Elijah Richardson as well as composer-musician Michael Penn, will write and perform new original music for the film. Disney’s live-action film division will once again oversee the project.

The first film is based on the critically-acclaimed, New York Times’ best-selling young adult novel about an unassuming high schooler who finds himself inexplicably drawn to the free-spirited new girl, whose unconventional ways change how they see themselves…and their world.
