We have sad news for the many fans of Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon’s 2017 auto-fiction rom-com The Big Sick (better known as Sickos). It turns out that Nanjiani isn’t too interested in the idea of a sequel to his Oscar-nominated film. “We have actually been contacted about a sequel. “I was like, I don’t know,†he told Vulture’s Jesse David Fox during a live taping of Good One at Vulture Festival. What’s with the hesitation? Well, it turns out that one couple can only get through so many life-defining tragedies together. “Our lives became boring after that,†Nanjiani clarified. So The Big Sick 2: The Bigger Sick would mostly be about walking red carpets, being in love, writing The Big Sick, and attending Vulture Fest (“What is it going to be this podcast?â€). Look, Kumail, we’re kinda starved for rom-coms here, so I just might watch that anyway (especially if Holly Hunter is back).

Damn, No The Big Sick 2: The Bigger Sick for Us
