Four best girlfriends hatch a plan to stay connected with one another as their lives start off in different directions: they pass around a pair of secondhand jeans that fits each of their bodies perfectly.

### The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)

Four college freshmen and best friends find that it may take more than a shared pair of jeans to help them stay in touch as their lives go in different directions.

### Future

A third film was announced to be in the works in 2014. It would be based on the book Sisterhood Everlasting, and produced by Alloy Entertainment. Liz W. Garcia was tapped to write a screenplay and Ken Kwapis, director of the first film, would be directing this installment. In April 2018, Bledel had revealed that the film had recently been pitched. In October 2022, Tamblyn stated that family life was one of the roadblocks to the film getting made. Chase expressed in a 2024 interview that she "would love" to make another sequel with Ferrera, Lively, Tamblyn, and Bledel, "I'm doing sequels to some of my other classic movies right now. I think, you know, time has gone by and the audiences still very much want it. So maybe."

## Musical

As of 2018, it was reported that musical adaptation based on the 2005 film is in development.
