A popular young adult romance movie trilogy has captured the hearts of viewers worldwide and is making waves on Netflix. The trilogy, which includes the latest installment, has not only become a global hit but has also landed on Netflix's weekly Top 10 Non-English movies chart. With a total of 31.5 million hours viewed from 17.7 million viewers globally, the trilogy's success has sparked speculation about the future of the franchise. If the momentum continues, Netflix may choose to continue or spin off the series.
The newest movie in the trilogy, 'Through My Window 3: Looking at You,' is the final installment in the Spanish-language trilogy based on the popular romance novel series by Ariana Godoy. The trilogy began with the release of 'Through My Window' in 2022, followed by 'Through My Window 2: Across the Sea' in 2023, and now concludes with 'Through My Window 3: Looking at You' in 2024. The trilogy has made a strong showing on the Netflix chart, with the latest movie taking the lead at No. 2, the original movie at No. 9, and 'Through My Window 2: Across the Sea' at No. 8. The combined viewership of the trilogy has reached 17.7 million viewers and 31.5 million hours viewed.
While 'Through My Window 3: Looking at You' is being touted as the final installment, it remains to be seen if the franchise will truly come to an end. Romance titles have a history of breaking away from their source material, and Netflix may choose to continue or spin off the series. Additionally, there is the possibility of adapting other book series by Ariana Godoy, such as 'My Wattpad Love' or 'Almas perdidas,' if Netflix decides to take the spinoff route.
The success of this young adult romance trilogy on Netflix highlights the enduring popularity of the genre and the power of storytelling to captivate audiences around the world.
