This news comes via screenwriter Zak Penn, who just finished his screenplay for the movie version of Cline's novel and handed it in to Warner Bros. Penn told Den of Geek that Cline is working on a sequel, adding that "it is one of those great ideas that has endless possibilities. And to a certain extent, the longer it exists and the more Ernie thinks about it, the more he comes up with."
