While Armie Hammer might've thrown doubt on a Call Me By Your Name movie sequel, the book's author has this week announced a release date for a follow-up novel, titled Find Me.

André Aciman explained the news during an interview with Vulture.

“Though I created the characters and was the author of their lives, what I never expected was that they’d end up teaching me things about intimacy and about love that I didn’t quite think I knew until I’d put them down on paper,” he said.

“The film made me realize that I wanted to be back with them and watch them over the years—which is why I wrote Find Me.”

Set to be published internationally on October 29, publisher Farrar, Straus, and Giroux teased the highly-anticipated novel.

"In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father Samuel, now divorced, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist," the statement reads.

"A chance encounter on the train leads to a relationship that changes Sami’s life definitively. Elio soon moves to Paris where he too has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a professor in northern New England with sons who are nearly grown, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return visit to Europe."

Get your peaches ready, folks!
