Based on the 2005 novel of the same name by Scott Westerfeld, <em>Uglies<\/em> stars<a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/joey-king\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"> <strong>Joey King<\/strong> <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/tag\/chase-stokes\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong>Chase Stokes<\/strong> <\/a>in a dystopian society. In this world, people are labeled \u201cUgly\u201d until their 16th birthday, which is when they can undergo a surgery to make them \u201cPretty.\u201d After ending on a major cliffhanger, fans are wondering whether they\u2019d get an <em>Uglies<\/em> sequel. After all, with dystopian franchises like <em>The Hunger Games<\/em> and <em>Divergent<\/em>, Hollywood has found ways to continue fan-favorite YA stories.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-3\"><strong>Hollywood Life<\/strong> has compiled all the details pointing to a possible <em>Uglies<\/em> sequel, below!<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Uglies\u2019 Plot<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">Per Netflix, Uglies takes place in \u201ca futuristic world that imposes a cosmetic surgery at 16.\u201d Its main character, Tally (played by Joey) \u201cis eager to join the rest of society. But when a friend runs away, Tally embarks on a journey to save her that upends everything she thought she wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Who Is in the \u2018Uglies\u2019 Cast?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">Apart from Joey and Chase, the rest of the <em>Uglies<\/em> cast features <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/laverne-cox\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">Laverne Cox<\/a>, Keith Powers, Brianne Tju, Jan Luis Castellanos, Charmin Lee<\/strong> and <strong>Jay DeVon Johnson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe title=\"Uglies | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OhcOHkgTrQQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Will There Be an \u2018Uglies\u2019 Sequel?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">The film ended on a cliffhanger. After unveiling unwillingly betraying The Smoke and discovering the Specials who were forced to get the cosmetic surgery, Tally sacrifices herself to become Pretty. Once she surrenders to the city officials, Tally is now prettified, but not without the scar on her hand that bound her to Peris (Chase). The revelation proves that while Tally is now Pretty, she has maintained her sense of autonomy and is able to control her mind.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">As for Peris, he fell over the wall of the city after fighting with David. However, it\u2019s unclear if he actually died. Moreover, his character returns in the book series. The books <em>Pretties, Specials<\/em> and <em>Extras<\/em> follow <em>Uglies<\/em> in the franchise.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">There has been no confirmation of a sequel to <em>Uglies<\/em> yet. However, since the book series continues, fans are hoping that it\u2019s possible. Director McG even noted that if there\u2019s enough demand for a sequel, then it could happen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">\u201cThe audience needs to speak up and say we should finish the book series,\u201d the filmmaker told <em>Deadline<\/em> ahead of the film\u2019s release. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s a series of books. The story goes on, but we need to have everybody clamor for it, because it\u2019s tough to get movies made, and it needs to be worth it, and they\u2019re expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">McG pointed out that the cast and crew are \u201call very optimistic that the stories will continue\u201d and that they \u201cwant to tell the full story\u201d since it\u2019s a book series.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/uglies-sequel-movie-5320040\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Image Credit: Brian Douglas\/Netflix The latest young adult craze is here, and Netflix viewers can\u2019t get enough of it.
