Anna Todd and Mario Celaya penned the script for After We Collided.

Anna Todd confirmed on Twitter that she and Mario Celaya are writing the screenplay for After We Collided. The screenplay for After was written by Susan McMartin, Tamara Chesta, and Jenny Gage.

Back in April, Todd told IB Times. that she and a mystery collaborator were "working really well together" on a script and she was "excited". It turns out that mystery collaborator was likely Mario Celaya.

What is After We Collide about?

After is just the first in a series of novels from Anna Todd. Chronologically, a film based on the second book, After We Collide, will be the next adventure.

Per the book's Amazon synopsis:

Tessa has everything to lose. Hardin has nothing to lose.... except her. After We Collided... Life will never be the same.

After a tumultuous beginning to their relationship, Tessa and Hardin were on the path to making things work. Tessa knew Hardin could be cruel, but when a bombshell revelation is dropped about the origins of their relationship - and Hardin's mysterious past - Tessa is beside herself. Hardin will always be... Hardin. But is he really the deep, thoughtful guy Tessa fell madly in love with despite his angry exterior - or has he been a stranger all along? She wishes she could walk away. It's just not that easy.

Hardin knows he made a mistake, possibly the biggest one of his life. He's not going down without a fight. But can he change? Will he change... for love?

Hardin and Tessa will definitely have some hurdles to overcome when they get a second outing.

Which cast members have been confirmed for After We Collided?

Hero Fiennes-Tiffin and Josephine Langford will reprise their roles as Tessa Young and Hardin Scott. Dylan Sprouse joins the cast as Trevor.

The Vampire Diaries' Candice King also joins as Kimberly Vance alongside Charlie Weber (How To Get Away With Murder) as Christian Vance.

Peter Gallagher and Jennifer Beals will not be appearing in the sequel. The roles of Ken Scott and Karen Scott will now be played by Rob Estes and Karimah Westbrook.

Louise Lombard joins the sequel as Trish Daniels and Max Ragone will play Smith Vance.
