Netflix’s 2022 romantic powerhouse “Purple Hearts” continues to dominate fan conversations three years later, with viral “leaks” circulating on social media claiming a sequel explores Cassie Salazar and Luke Morrow’s post-happily-ever-after turmoil—including a secret divorce filing after a heartbreaking miscarriage, only for a surprise pregnancy to potentially mend their fractured bond. While stars Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine have teased interest in returning, Netflix has yet to greenlight Purple Hearts 2, leaving these alleged script pages as unverified fan speculation or clever hoaxes fueling endless TikTok theories and Reddit threads.

The original film, directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum and based on Tess Wakefield’s novel, catapulted to Netflix’s third-most-watched movie of 2022, amassing over 228 million hours viewed in its first month. Carson’s aspiring singer Cassie and Galitzine’s Marine Luke captivated audiences with their opposites-attract marriage of convenience, evolving into genuine passion amid deployment drama and health scares. The beachside ending—complete with their dog Peaches—left viewers swooning, but closed the book neatly on fraud charges, prison stints, and family reconciliations.

Yet fan demand never waned. Carson, in a March 2025 HELLO! exclusive, shared: “The love for Cassie and Luke is overwhelming—I’ve seen all the petitions and edits. Who knows what the future holds?” Galitzine echoed similar sentiments on podcasts, joking about “many ways their story could continue.” Director Rosenbaum noted casual sequel chats back in 2022, emphasizing any follow-up must honor the characters’ growth.

Enter the “leaks”: Screenshots purporting to be from a draft script surfaced on X and Facebook in late October 2025, detailing a time jump to 2024. Cassie, now a rising star with The Loyal, grapples with tour life straining her marriage to Luke, who’s transitioned to veteran advocacy post-discharge. Key rumored beats:

Luke’s PTSD flares during a civilian job loss, leading to heated arguments over starting a family.
A devastating miscarriage early in Cassie’s pregnancy pushes her toward divorce papers, citing “irreconcilable differences” tied to differing dreams—her music career versus his desire for stability.
Luke discovers the filing amid a surprise baby reveal: Cassie learns she’s pregnant again, forcing a raw confrontation about forgiveness and second chances.
Subplots involve Nora’s expanded role as Cassie’s manager clashing with Luke’s brother, and a new rival suitor tempting Cassie on tour.

Fan reactions split the timeline: #PurpleHearts2Leaks trended with 500,000 mentions, blending excitement (“Finally adulting drama!”) and outrage (“They deserved peace—don’t ruin it!”). Fake trailers on YouTube racked up millions, blending old footage with AI-deepfaked scenes of tearful arguments and ultrasound reveals.

Skeptics point to patterns: Similar hoaxes plagued the film since 2023, with bogus posters announcing 2024 releases debunked by outlets like What’s on Netflix. As of November 7, 2025, no production listings on IMDb or Variety confirm development. Wakefield’s original book lacks a sequel, and Alloy Entertainment—producers behind the first—focuses on fresh IP.

Carson’s schedule packs up: She stars in upcoming Netflix rom-com “The Life List” and executive produces music projects. Galitzine, fresh off “The Idea of You” and “Mary & George,” headlines “Masters of the Universe” in 2026. Reuniting would require perfect timing, but Carson told Variety in December 2024: “Cassie changed my life—I’d slip back into her world in a heartbeat if the story feels right.”

Netflix reps declined comment on leaks, but a spokesperson reiterated the original’s enduring popularity: “Purple Hearts remains a global favorite, topping charts in rewatch marathons.” Fan petitions on Change.org surpass 200,000 signatures, while edits imagining miscarriage recovery scenes flood TikTok, often set to Carson’s “Come Back Home.”

If real, Purple Hearts 2 could explore mature themes: veteran mental health, postpartum challenges, and balancing ambition with partnership—elevating beyond teen tropes. Rosenbaum hinted in 2022 at ideas involving “real married life hurdles.”

For now, the “crumbling happily ever after” remains rumor. Rewatch the original for that perfect ending, or join the speculation: Divorce doomed or baby boom redemption? Fans vote overwhelmingly for reconciliation—88% in a recent Instagram poll.

Until Netflix rings the wedding bells again, Cassie and Luke’s story stays frozen in bliss. But in rom-com land, stranger things have happened.
