Irish Wish did not disappoint. It brought us a great story of being careful what you wish for along with a lot of Irish charm. Now fans would love to see a sequel.

Irish Wish follows Lindsay Lohan’s Maddie as she heads to Ireland for her best friend’s wedding. That best friend is Paul, played by Alexander Vlahos, and Maddie is deeply in love with Paul, and while in Ireland, she ends up making a wish that she was the one marrying him.

This starts a fun rom-com, especially as Ed Speleer’s James Thomas becomes her wedding photographer. The two end up connecting in ways they didn’t expect, and Maddie realizes that maybe Paul isn’t the right person for her.

Will Irish Wish 2 happen?

With the movie only just out on Netflix, it’s not clear if there will be a sequel or not. We have to be honest and say that this is unlikely, though. There isn’t really need for a sequel with the way things ended.

This is one of your standard rom-coms. It brings us the full story that we need for the characters. Of course, there are your stereotypical storylines. This isn’t a movie to break barriers, but a chance to bring a fun story.

Lindsay Lohan’s comeback in acting is certain in full swing now. She’s done a couple of Netflix movies now, and she has others on the way. We haven’t seen sequels of other movies, and there are no signs that she’s interested in continuing the story for specific characters. What we would love to see is more of Lohan and Speleers on screen together. They certainly had some excellent chemistry throughout Irish Wish.

Irish Wish is available to stream on Netflix.
