In recent years, romantic films for young adults have been dominating streaming platforms and taking over upcoming releases. One such example is the After saga on Netflix, starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Josephine Langford (The Other Zoey).
The newest and most-watched movie in the catalog in the United States is directed by Castille Landon, who also took charge of writing the screenplay along with the author of the novels on which it is based, Anna Todd. This time, the story is mostly told from the perspective of Hardin, the main male character and Tessa’s partner.
As is typical in the franchise, drama and toxicity are not in short supply. However, this time the narrative focuses more on the recent writer’s evolution. The plot revolves around his life after breaking up with his true love as he travels to Portugal in an attempt to amend his troubled past.

Even though After Everything features the same protagonists, the story is told from Hardin’s perspective, focusing on everything he does to mend his mistakes and regain the forgiveness of the love of his life. However, this is not an easy task, and he must delve into his darkest thoughts to achieve healing.

The fifth installment of the franchise has become the most-watched movie on Netflix in the United States this morning, according to the metrics-specialized site Flix Patrol. Not only does it dominate the top 10, but it has surpassed other well-known productions, such as the comedy The Equalizer 3 and The Single Moms Club.
Certainly, an intense plot requires great actors to reach the hearts of the audience. Hero Fiennes Tiffin reprises his role as Hardin Scott, while Josephine Langford has only a few small cameos as Tessa Young. Both stars were accompanied by notable figures.
One of them was Mimi Keene, who portrayed one of the essential characters, Nathalie, a former love of Hardin. On the other hand, we also saw scenes featuring recognized actors such as Stephen Moyer, Louise Lombard, Arielle Kebbel, Carter Jenkins, Benjamin Mascolo, Rob Estes, Kiana Madeira, Frances Turner and Chance Perdomo.
