The live-action film account for Mari Okazaki's Will I Be Single Forever? manga announced a second film titled Tenten Zutto Dokushin de Iru Tsumori?, set to debut on Amazon Prime Video on October 23. The film has an original story and centers on three single women: 30-year-old Yamada, 38-year-old Shiba, and 46-year-old Shimizu. Sumi Morika, Ryuya Wakaba, and Yu Kashii lead the cast, with Yuko Hakota directing.
The new film carries an original story rather than adapting the manga, which ran in Feel Young from November 2014 to October 2015 across one compiled volume. Its three leads span ages 30, 38, and 46, and the film follows their single lives and the choices they make. Yuko Hakota directs, Takehiko Minato writes the script, and Takuma Watanabe composes the music. The supporting cast includes Haruka Imo, Kentaro Tamura, Tomo Kasajima, Asuka Kurosawa, Kazuko Shirakawa, Hidekazu Mashima, and Gin Maeda.
