What are all the 5 After movies in order?

Decoding the After Saga: A Chronological Journey Through Five Films

The After film series, a cinematic adaptation of Anna Todd’s popular novels, has captivated audiences with its tempestuous romance between Tessa Young and Hardin Scott. While the emotional rollercoaster of their relationship is central, keeping the order of the five films straight can be a challenge for even the most devoted fans. Let’s navigate the saga chronologically, from first spark to final chapter:

1. After (2019): This is where it all begins. The film introduces Tessa, a dedicated student with a seemingly predictable life, and Hardin, a brooding, rebellious college student who throws her carefully constructed world into disarray. Their undeniable chemistry is immediately apparent, even as their personalities clash violently. This first installment lays the foundation for the explosive relationship that will dominate the rest of the series. It establishes their initial attraction, the obstacles they face, and the passionate, often destructive, dynamic that defines them.

2. After We Collided (2020): Picking up where the first film left off, After We Collided throws Tessa and Hardin into a whirlwind of emotional turmoil. Their relationship is tested by external pressures and internal conflicts, forcing them to confront their own insecurities and past traumas. This film delves deeper into their individual backgrounds, offering context for their complex behaviours and revealing secrets that further complicate their already fragile connection. Expect increased drama, heightened stakes, and a deeper exploration of their love-hate relationship.

3. After We Fell (2021): The third installment, After We Fell, continues to unravel the tangled threads of Tessa and Hardin’s relationship. This film introduces new challenges and secrets from the past, further complicating their journey together. The introduction of new characters and revelations about Hardin’s family history add layers of complexity to their already tumultuous romance. Long-held secrets emerge, pushing their commitment to its limits.

4. After Ever Happy (2022): After Ever Happy is arguably the most anticipated film in the series. This penultimate installment sees Tessa and Hardin facing their most significant challenges yet. The revelations from previous films come to a head, forcing them to make life-altering decisions that will irrevocably shape their future. The film builds towards a powerful conclusion, exploring the consequences of their actions and the ultimate test of their love.

5. After Everything (2023): While not strictly part of the main five-film narrative adapted from the original novels, After Everything (this film’s existence is debated by fans and not always officially included in the numbered series) acts as an epilogue providing closure to some of the unresolved storylines, particularly around the relationships of other characters within the “After” universe. It’s a look into life after the tumultuous main arc of Tessa and Hardin.

The After series is a journey, not just for the characters but for the audience. While the tumultuous relationship between Tessa and Hardin forms the core, each film adds layers of complexity and emotion, making it a captivating watch – even if you occasionally need a reminder of the viewing order.
