Call Me by Your Name sequel Find Me to publish this October

In the same week that Armie Hammer dashed Call Me by Your Name fans’ hopes of a cinematic sequel, EW has confirmed that an official follow-up to André Aciman’s acclaimed original novel is on the way.

Titled Find Me, the sequel will publish this fall and move into the distant future, as teased in the Call Me by Your Name novel’s epilogue. Vulture has learned preliminary details about the book from publisher Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, particularly that it’ll give a greater spotlight to Elio’s father, Samuel: “In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father Samuel, now divorced, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train leads to a relationship that changes Sami’s life definitively. Elio soon moves to Paris where he too has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a professor in northern New England,” considers returning to Europe with his sons having grown.

Late last year, Aciman wrote on Twitter that he was writing a Call Me by Your Name sequel. Though unconfirmed at the time, the news fueled reports that director Luca Guadagnino was planning one on the film side as well. But in an interview with Vulture earlier this week, Hammer hit the brakes on that, saying, “If we do make a second one, I think we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment.” He added: “I’m not sure that it was ever really definitely going to happen. People just seemed so excited about it that we were like, ‘Oh, yeah, f— it! We’ll do it, sure! … It’s not real until it is.”

Call Me by Your Name was originally published in 2007, and after Guadagnino’s adaptation premiered in 2017 to Oscar-winning success, emerged as a powerhouse best-seller.

Find Me will hit shelves Oct. 29.

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline. We’re left with both hope and a promise of much bigger things to come. In the final moments before the credits roll, that radio Eugene, Rosita, and Gabriel have been tinkering with since the time jump, their initial mission that first put everyone on the warpath with the Whisperers, finally fulfilled its purpose. When the blizzard came, the power
