According to Langley, the second film installment of E.L. James' best-selling erotic novel Fifty Shades Darker will be "more of a thriller."

As previously reported, James' husband, Niall Leonard, will serves as the screenwriter for the next two installments and during her interview, Langley expresses her belief that Leonard is a great asset to the company.

"He actually did a draft that wasn't credited on the first movie," Langley said. "He did a really good job."

Access Hollywood reported that Universal Pictures executives announced at CinemaCon that the Darker and Freed sequels are finally in the works and the anticipated films will be hitting theaters around the world very soon.

Fifty Shades Darker is set to hit theaters on February 10, 2017. Fifty Shades Freed will also arrive just in time for Valentine's Day on February 9, 2018.

After releasing the official release dates, the site also gave viewers the first look into the new film by sharing a new teaser photo, featuring none other than Mr. Grey himself.
