Fans of Netflix's Spanish romance sensation often wonder what's next after the emotional conclusion of the trilogy. While Netflix concluded the central story of Raquel and Ares with the third film, Through My Window 3: Looking at You, viewers continue searching for updates on whether a fourth installment, spin-offs, or continuation will happen.
The original film trilogy, based on Ariana Godoy’s popular Wattpad novels, followed the intense romance between Raquel (Clara Galle) and Ares (Julio Peña). Because the source material focused on the Hidalgo brothers (Ares, Artemis, and Apollo) with separate books for each brother, discussions around future expansions or an unofficial fourth chapter frequently surface among fans tracking the franchise's streaming performance on Netflix.
Understanding the Franchise Arc
The journey from a self-published digital manuscript to a global streaming phenomenon happened remarkably fast. Ariana Godoy published A través de mi ventana on Wattpad, where it accumulated millions of reads before Editorial Planeta picked it up. Netflix quickly secured the film adaptation rights, releasing the first movie in February 2022.
Two direct sequels—Across the Sea and Looking at You—filmed back-to-back and explored the strains of long-distance relationships, grief, and growing up. Each movie leaned heavily into glossy cinematography, high-stakes drama, and moody seaside settings. Yet, the core narrative arc designed around Raquel and Ares wrapped up cleanly in the third film, leaving little room for a direct continuation of their specific storyline without repeating past conflicts.
Will There Be a Through My Window 4?
As of now, Netflix hasn't ordered or announced a Through My Window 4 focusing on Raquel and Ares. The production team and principal cast have repeatedly stated that the trilogy was always planned as a three-part story. Wrapping up the narrative allowed the actors to pursue other television and film projects in Spain and Latin America.
However, streaming platforms frequently revisit popular intellectual properties. Fans often look to the secondary characters for potential continuation paths:
- Artemis and Arian's dynamic: The oldest Hidalgo brother's romance offered a stark contrast to Ares and Raquel's turbulent connection, providing a blueprint for potential companion films.
- Apollo’s journey: The youngest brother's storyline remained the least explored across the main trilogy, leaving narrative space open for future adaptations if producers choose to revisit the universe.
- New generation plots: Similar to other YA franchises, jumping forward in time remains an option, though no studio announcements currently support this.
Production Reality Versus Rumor Mills
Social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube frequently generate fan-made concept trailers using clips from other projects starring Clara Galle and Julio Peña. These videos often mislead viewers into believing a fourth movie is currently filming or streaming.
In reality, checking official studio databases or creator announcements reveals that the cinematic universe concluded with the third entry. Cast members have moved on to new series, confirming in interviews that their chapters as these specific characters are complete.
