Ellis announced in 2005 that he would be writing a sequel to Less than Zero: a story following the same characters, set in the present day, that focuses on their lives as they approach middle age.[13]
In January 2008, Ellis announced that his forthcoming novel Imperial Bedrooms would be the sequel to Less than Zero. In keeping with the original, the title is taken from the title of an Elvis Costello record (both a 1982 album and song). The book was published in 2010.
