The second big-screen adaptation of EL James’ raunchy novels will be released in the UK on Friday February 10, 2017, with the third and final instalment following on Friday February 9, 2018.

EL’s husband, Niall Leonard, will write the screenplay for Fifty Shades Darker.

Sam Taylor-Johnson has announced she will not direct the sequels, saying: “While I will not be returning to direct the sequels, I wish nothing but success to whosoever takes on the exciting challenges of films two and three.”

The first film opened this year on Valentine’s Day weekend and became the biggest 18-rated opening ever, grossing 568 million US dollars (£375 million) worldwide.
