After Everything: The Conclusion of a Phenomenal Franchise
After Everything marks the conclusion of the popular film franchise and is driven by a cast of talented actors who manage to satisfactorily tie up all ends. Originally a series of Wattpad One Direction fan fiction by a woman named Anna Todd, the After book franchise was published by Gallery Books and made the author a New York Times bestseller. The source material was then turned into a series of well-known films that have captivated audiences and become a global phenomenon. Though there are only four books in the series by Todd, After Everything was created to provide audiences with more content. The final film makes some major changes to the format of the previous movies but manages to still feel like a coherent addition to the overall franchise. Instead of Tessa Young being a narrator and main character, like she was in the previous After films, Hardin Scott is the sole storyteller and protagonist in After Everything. Despite this switch-up and Tessa's more limited role in the film, After Everything has an ending that feels complete and gives audiences the closure they were seeking.

After Everything brings to a close the captivating journey of well-known characters such as Hardin Scott, Tessa Young, Nathalie, and new additions like Sebastian. Each character has had a significant impact on the franchise and has undergone personal growth and transformation, captivating audiences with their compelling stories.
