Prime Video greenlights “Love Me Love Me 3” sequel as Amazon expands its slate and kid-focused tablets

Amazon says filming is set to begin soon on the third installment of the teen romantic drama franchise, based on international best-selling novels. The announcement arrived alongside new Prime Video titles and Amazon’s next generation of kid-oriented tablets with Alexa+ built in.

Prime Video has approved “Love Me Love Me 3,” the next chapter in a romantic drama franchise adapted from an international series of novels, with filming expected to start soon, Amazon said in a release published Thursday.

Amazon’s entertainment update names Mia Jenkins, Pepe Barroso Silva, and Luca Melucci as returning in lead roles, positioning the sequel to continue the young adult storyline for viewers who have followed the earlier films in the saga.

The project is based on Stefania S.’s best-selling book series, which Amazon said has generated more than 25 million reads on Wattpad. That platform metric, while not the same as print sales, is typically used by publishers and studios to demonstrate broad early audience reach and international engagement for romance and teen fiction.

Amazon did not provide a release window for “Love Me Love Me 3” in the company’s announcement, but it framed the sequel as part of Prime Video’s ongoing strategy of building franchises from established readerships and proven audience interest.

In the same update, Amazon also promoted the trailer for “Apocalypse Z: New World,” a post-apocalyptic action sequel coming to Prime Video on October 30. The company additionally highlighted a 2027 Prime Video special tied to “Clarkson’s Farm,” titled “Jeremy Grows a Car.”

Beyond scripted entertainment, Amazon used the announcement to push hardware tied to its voice assistant ecosystem. The company said it is introducing an all-new family of Amazon Alexa Tablets designed specifically for kids.

Amazon described the devices as “powerful tablets” with Alexa+ built in, a feature set intended to keep children engaged through interactive content and voice functionality, while giving parents an interface to manage the experience.

That combination of entertainment expansion and kid-focused devices reflects how Amazon tries to keep Prime Video and Alexa within the same household routine. Sequels and franchise films can drive subscriptions and viewership, while tablets are a separate gateway to consumption habits and voice-based services.

The company’s communication also leaves several practical questions open, including the target release date for “Love Me Love Me 3,” any new cast additions beyond the returning leads, and how the film’s production schedule aligns with Prime Video’s broader programming plans for 2027 and beyond.

For viewers and industry observers, the next checkpoints will likely be when production details become public and when Prime Video releases a clearer timetable for “Love Me Love Me 3,” as well as the performance of the studio’s surrounding slate, including “Apocalypse Z: New World” and the “Clarkson’s Farm” special.

Why It Matters

  • Greenlit franchise sequels can help Prime Video deepen recurring audiences, especially when they start from a proven international readership like the Wattpad audience Amazon cited.
  • Returning lead cast supports continuity, which can reduce audience-friction risk for viewers deciding whether to sample a third installment.
  • By pairing entertainment announcements with Alexa+ tablet hardware for kids, Amazon is reinforcing its strategy to connect media consumption with its consumer devices and voice ecosystem.
  • Upcoming releases like “Apocalypse Z: New World” and the “Clarkson’s Farm” special provide additional momentum that can help sustain Prime Video engagement around major tentpole dates.
