The author of 'Call Me By Your Name', André Aciman, has confirmed that he is currently working on a sequel to the beloved book and Oscar-winning film.

"I would actually love a sequel to Call Me by Your Name," Aciman tweeted.

"In fact I am writing one."

While he didn't specify whether he was writing the follow-up as a screenplay or novel, the news is in line with previous speculation surrounding a second film.

Fans were quick to celebrate the news, with actor Armie Hammer, who starred in the film adaptation, responding with "BOOM!"
According to , actor Michael Stuhlbarg, who played Elio’s father in the critically acclaimed 2017 film, said that both director Luca Guadagnino and author André Aciman were seriously considering work on a sequel.

“He [Guadagnino] seems to think that we might be able to pick up the action a few years later,” Stuhlbarg said, “to see what’s happened to these characters and the choices they’ve made, and life after this particularly momentous summer for them all."

He added: "But it sounds like something he’s serious about, and André Aciman is thrilled I think at the idea.”
