Will the Brooklyn sequel be made into a movie? What we know so far

Brooklyn is one of our favourite movies, but is it getting a sequel?

Colm Tóibín penned a sequel to the best-selling novel, and it became one of the most loved books of 2024.

His novel Long Island was swiped off shelves after being published last May, but we can't help but wonder will Saoirse Ronan will reprise her role as Eilis in a film version of the novel.

No official news has been shared on whether the book will be adapted for the screen, but we're feeling hopeful about it.

In an interview with Today FM, Saoirse Ronan said she would be interested in returning.

She hasn't sat down with writer Colm Tóibín or director John Crowley yet, but said they'd be keen to work together again.

"I would only do it if I could produce it, and I would only do it with John Crowley."

Saoirse Ronan said Domhnall Gleeson is also eager to return for the sequel.

You can read the synopsis below:

"A man with an Irish accent knocks on Eilis Fiorello’s door on Long Island and at that moment everything changes. Eilis and Tony have built a secure, happy life here since leaving Brooklyn," the synopsis reads.

"Perhaps a little stifled by the in-laws so close, but twenty years married and with two children looking towards a good future.

"And yet this stranger will reveal something that will make Eilis question the life she has created. For the first time in years, she suddenly feels very far from home.

"The revelation will see her turn towards Ireland once again. Back to her mother. Back to the town and the people she had chosen to leave behind. Did she make the wrong choice marrying Tony all those years ago? Is it too late now to take a different path?"
