Hani Osama’s The Producers announced a sequel to Hepta: The Last Lecture, the highest-grossing romantic film in the history of Egyptian cinema, based on Mohamed Sadek's best-selling book. The sequel will be written by Sadek, while Hadi Elbagoury will continue as the director.

Commenting on this, Producer Hani Osama says, “The decision of making a sequel to Hepta: The Last Lecture resulted from several brainstorming sessions with writer Mohamed Sadek and director Hadi Elbagoury. The new film will deliver a unique approach. We will reveal more details on the new film and its cast and crew soon.”
