Funny you ask about 'High Season'—I just rewatched it last week! It’s such a weird, wonderful little film, and nope, no sequels in sight. But you know what? That’s probably for the best. Some movies are like perfect one-hit wonders; a follow-up would just feel unnecessary. Instead, I’d recommend exploring Peploe’s other projects, like her segment in 'Beyond the Clouds'. It’s got that same dreamy, slightly absurd quality. Or if you’re into the ‘artist-in-a-strange-land’ premise, 'The Last Wave' by Peter Weir might hit the spot. Sometimes the best continuations aren’t sequels—they’re vibes you chase elsewhere.
I’ve been a film buff since college, and 'High Season' was one of those movies my professor screened to illustrate postmodern European cinema. To answer your question: no sequels exist, which isn’t surprising given its niche appeal. But here’s an interesting tidbit—Peploe and her husband, Bernardo Bertolucci, often played with recurring themes in their projects. If you squint, 'the dreamers' feels like a distant cousin in its exploration of art and decadence, though it’s way more intense.
What fascinates me is how 'High Season' balances satire with almost documentary-like shots of Rhodes. A sequel would’ve needed to replicate that delicate tone, and I’m not sure it could’ve worked. Instead, I’d suggest checking out 'the passenger' by Antonioni—another film about outsiders in surreal landscapes. It’s like scratching the same itch without treading on the original’s toes.
Man, 'High Season' is one of those hidden gems that never got the attention it deserved! I stumbled upon it years ago while browsing through obscure indie titles, and its blend of surreal humor and sharp social commentary stuck with me. From what I’ve dug up, there’s no official sequel, but the director, Clare Peploe, did explore similar themes in her later work 'The Triumph of Love'. It’s not a direct follow-up, but it carries that same whimsical, almost satirical vibe. Honestly, I kinda prefer it that way—some stories are better left as standalone pieces. The idea of a sequel might ruin the magic of the original’s quirky, open-ended charm.
That said, if you’re craving more of that 'High Season' flavor, I’d recommend diving into other films from the British indie scene of the ’80s. There’s a whole treasure trove of underrated movies like 'Withnail & I' or 'A Room with a View' that capture that same offbeat energy. Sometimes, the 'spiritual successor' route is way more satisfying than a forced sequel anyway.

I absolutely adore 'High Water'! The novel's atmospheric tension and raw emotional depth hooked me from the first page. As far as I know, there hasn't been an official sequel announced yet, but the ending left so much room for exploration. I've spent hours theorizing with fellow fans about potential follow-ups—maybe diving deeper into the protagonist's unresolved trauma or expanding the flooded world's lore. The author's style feels perfect for a sequel, so fingers crossed!
In the meantime, I've filled the void with similar climate-fiction books like 'The Water Will Come' and 'The Drowned World,' which scratch that same itch of ecological dread. If you loved 'High Water,' those might tide you over while we wait (and hope) for more.
Man, 'Harmattan Season' totally flew under the radar for a lot of people, but it’s one of those hidden gems that stuck with me. From what I’ve dug up, there hasn’t been any official announcement about a sequel—which is a shame because the world-building had so much potential for expansion. The blend of political intrigue and mystical elements felt fresh, and I’d love to see where the story could go next. Maybe the creators are waiting for the right moment, or perhaps they’ve moved on to other projects. Still, fan discussions keep popping up about possible follow-ups, so who knows? Fingers crossed we get something down the line.
In the meantime, if you’re craving similar vibes, titles like 'The Witcher' books or 'Dorohedoro' might scratch that itch. Both mix gritty settings with supernatural twists, though 'Harmattan Season' had its own unique flavor. I’d kill for even a short story set in that universe—anything to revisit those characters! Until then, I’ll just keep rewatching the original and speculating with fellow fans.
the question about sequels always pops up in fan circles. The original novel by Lois McMaster Bujold is a standalone gem, but she did write a loose follow-up called 'The Spirit Ring.' It’s not a direct sequel—more of a spiritual cousin set in the same universe but with different characters and themes. 'The Spirit Ring' leans heavier into historical fantasy, with alchemy and Renaissance Italy vibes, while 'High Spirits' is more of a cozy ghost story with a romantic twist.
Bujold’s writing style shifts between the two, too—'High Spirits' feels like a warm cup of tea, while 'The Spirit Ring' is a richer, darker brew. If you loved the worldbuilding in 'High Spirits,' you might enjoy exploring this other corner of her imagination, though don’t expect a continuation of the same plot or characters. It’s more like visiting a familiar neighborhood but meeting entirely new neighbors.
