Production company No. 3 Pictures announced today (June 9) that it is working on a spin-off of Unintentional Love Story. The original K-BL premiered in March on TVING, and starred B1A4’s Gongchan and The Second Husband actor Cha Seo-won.

“We will begin filming in the second half of this year, and we are aiming for a release at the beginning of next year,” No. 3 Pictures said in a statement to Kyunghyang Shinmun, as translated by Soompi.

No. 3 Pictures has yet to announce a title for the upcoming Unintentional Love Story spin-off nor the new show’s plot. It is also unclear if original actors Gongchan and Cha Seo-won will be returning.
