The anticipated sequel to the 1997 cult classic comedy Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion is officially in production. Original stars Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino are attached to the 20th Century Studios project, which will stream exclusively as a Hulu Original.
Both Kudrow and Sorvino took to social media to share a photo of themselves on set, sporting the quirky costumes that defined their characters. They announced, “The reunion you’ve been waiting for! The Romy and Michele sequel is now in production.”
It has been nearly three decades since Romy (Sorvino) and Michele (Kudrow) returned to Tucson for their 10-year high school reunion. In the original film, the Los Angeles-based duo attempted to impress their former classmates by claiming they were successful businesswomen who invented Post-its — only for their elaborate plan to hilariously fall apart.
Alan Cumming (Sandy Frink), Janeane Garofalo (Heather), Camryn Manheim (Toby) and Julia Campbell (Christie Masters) are confirmed to reprise their roles alongside the duo. The ensemble cast will also include Keegan-Michael Key, Rob Huebel, Breckin Meyer, Patrick Warburton and Nathan Lee Graham in roles that are being kept under wraps.
Mona May, the iconic costume designer behind the original wardrobe, is returning to style the production. “I’m so excited to be a part of this amazing project to keep the DNA of the characters and design the fashions to be as fun and fabulous as the original film,” May shared. “Romy and Michele are forever fashionistas, and I’m so excited to be working with Lisa and Mira again.”
The 20th Century Studios film is directed and produced by Tim Federle and written by Robin Schiff, who created the characters and penned the original 1997 film. Also producing is Laurence Mark, who produced the original. Executive producers are Barry Kemp, who was also executive producer on Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, Sorvino, Kudrow and Schiff. Kimberly McCullough serves as co-producer.
The creative team includes director of photography Marco Fargnoli, production designer Hillary Gurtler and editor Brian Olds. Sarah Shepard is overseeing the project for 20th Century Studios. The film will stream exclusively as a Hulu Original on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S., and on Disney+ internationally.
