On For Valentine's Day 2022, Netflix is all set to release a new rom-com film titled 'Tall Girl 2' which is a sequel to the 2019 film 'Tall Girl.' The movie will focus on the main character's relationships rather than her height. Ava Michelle will reprise her role as Jodi in the Netflix sequel which also features Sabrina Carpenter, Griffin Gluck, Luke Eisner, Anjelika Washington, and others.

According to Netflix’s official synopsis, "Jodi is no longer simply the 'tall girl' after her motivational speech at the homecoming dance; she's popular, confident, has a boyfriend, and has just landed the main part in this year's school musical. But as the pressure of her newfound popularity intensifies, so do her insecurities, and new relationships are formed while old ones are tested. As the world she built starts to crumble around her, Jodi realizes that standing tall was only just the beginning. 'Tall Girl 2' focuses on the main character's friendships and relationships rather than her height."
