There are actually five books to the Hitchhikers' Trilogy! The first three are "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy," "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe." and "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish!" The last two are "Mostly Harmless" and "Sorry for the Inconveniences."

Before his death in 2002, British writer and author Douglas Adams wrote six complete books and was in the finishing stages of a seventh. The most notable was The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Douglas Adams wrote the funny sci-fi series of books "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
It doesn't look likely, which in my opinion is a shame. The film didn't do as well as they had hoped at the cinema. We can always hope that someone else decides to have a go at making the rest of the books into films.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (published in 1979), is a science fiction series written by Douglas Adams. It was first a radio comedy, which eventually became an international multi-media phenomenon. They were later adapted into several books, they were originally a trilogy however there are now five books published.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has been challenged because of its use of humor, satire, and irreverence towards authority, religion, and traditional values, which some may find offensive or inappropriate. It also includes references to drug use, which has also been a point of contention for some who seek to challenge its place in libraries or schools.
There are five books in the inaccurately named "Trilogy": in no particular order, they are: 1 The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy 2 The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe 3. Life, The Universe, and Everything 4. So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish 5 Mostly Harmless Some also consider the short story "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe" to be part of the trilogy, but it really affect the story in no way whatsoever, it just shares the same universe. "The Salmon Of Doubt; Hitchhiking The Galaxy One Last Time" is also not a part of the "Trilogy".
Oh yes- it's a perennial classic series, and has become ingrained into public consciousness as a sci-fi parody with a deeper philosophical slant ever since it first aired as a BBC radio play in 1978.
