Netflix announced the 2021 premiere date for The Kissing Booth 3 last July. The movie, based on the series by Beth Reekles, was filmed simultaneously with the sequel (which premiered in July 2020) in South Africa, according to a statement from the streaming service. The original film, which debuted in 2018, focused on Elle and her ever-changing relationships with long-time friend Lee (Courtney) and his older brother Noah (Elodri). In the first movie, Elle and Noah explored a forbidden romance after accidentally smooching at a kissing booth in school, and their attempts to not hurt Lee with the news. In The Kissing Booth 2, a handsome new classmate named Marco (Zakhar Perez) entered the picture. His presence complicated things as Elle coped with her evolving relationships with both Noah and Lee. The Kissing Booth 3 premieres August 11 on Netflix.
