The romance that captured hearts and sparked endless debates is set for one final, explosive chapter. The Kissing Booth 4: Rules of Forever, slated for a 2026 release, reunites Joey King as Elle Evans and Jacob Elordi as Noah Flynn in a story that picks up years after the trilogy’s bittersweet ending. Fans have been clamoring for closure, and this installment delivers: grown-up lives, buried feelings, and a wedding that forces everything to the surface.
Elle Evans is no longer the awkward high schooler juggling crushes and friendships. Now a thriving game designer in her late 20s, she’s built a stable life far from the drama of her teenage years. Engaged to a dependable partner who offers security without the rollercoaster intensity, Elle believes she’s moved on. That illusion shatters when she returns to Los Angeles as Best Woman for her lifelong best friend Lee Flynn (Joel Courtney) and his fiancée Rachel’s long-awaited wedding.
Enter Noah Flynn—older, more polished, and carrying an emotional armor that makes him seem distant and untouchable. The bad boy turned successful professional has changed, but the electric pull between him and Elle remains as powerful as ever. Their reunion at wedding rehearsals stirs old flames, complicated by Elle’s impending nuptials and Noah’s guarded heart. As pre-wedding festivities unfold—bridesmaid duties, family reunions, and nostalgic callbacks—the pair can’t escape the unresolved tension that defined their past.
The plot thickens with classic Kissing Booth chaos: hilarious mishaps, heartfelt confessions, and secrets bubbling up. Old rules of friendship and love are challenged as Elle questions her “safe” choices. Noah, haunted by what could have been, grapples with vulnerability. The centerpiece? A surprise recreation of the iconic Kissing Booth at the reception, turning a joyful celebration into a crossroads. Will Elle choose the passion she once knew, or the steady future she’s built?
Returning cast members add familiarity and warmth. Joel Courtney reprises Lee, whose wedding provides the perfect backdrop for reflection on growth and loyalty. Maisie Richardson-Sellers could return as Chloe, adding layers to Noah’s evolution, while Taylor Zakhar Perez as Marco might cameo for added drama. Directed once again by Vince Marcello, who helmed the trilogy, the film promises the signature mix of laughter, tears, and swoon-worthy moments that made the series a Netflix phenomenon.
The original trilogy, based on Beth Reekles’ Wattpad sensation, followed Elle’s coming-of-age through forbidden romance, college decisions, and self-discovery. Ending on an open note with Elle and Noah reconnecting years later, it left fans yearning for more. This finale explores adult love: Is teenage passion enough for forever, or do real relationships require compromise?
With stunning LA backdrops, dreamy wedding aesthetics, and that undeniable Joey King-Jacob Elordi chemistry, Rules of Forever aims to tie up loose ends while delivering fresh twists. In a world of fleeting streaming hits, this chapter reminds us why Elle and Noah became icons—proving some connections defy time, rules, and even logic.
As anticipation builds, one question lingers: Will they finally get their happily ever after? Get ready to fall in love all over again.
