Yes, there is a sequel to "The Graduate"

I have good news, bad news and scary news. The good news is that author Charles Webb, who wrote the novel that the classic THE GRADUATE was based on, has written a sequel. The bad news is that Webb doesn't plan on publishing the book until after he's dead. The scary news is hearing Lisa Marie Presley admit to Oprah that her marriage to Michael Jackson was "consummated". Yikes! I figured they had knocked some boots but hearing her say it made it all too real.


Well worth the full read...

And has nothing to do with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Player

In Robert Altman's Hollywood satire The Player (1992), Buck Henry, co-writer of The Graduate, plays a screenwriter attempting to pitch a sequel to The Graduate to a Hollywood producer. Henry's character reminds the producer that the leading actors are all still alive and envisages a scenario in which Ben, Elaine and Mrs Robinson live together in a ménage à trois.
