Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow's ROMY AND MICHELE Sequel Currently in Production, Set to Stream on Hulu
The Untitled Romy and Michele sequel, starring Oscar winner Mira Sorvino and Emmy winner Lisa Kudrow, is now officially in production.
The original 1997 cult classic comedy Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion starred Sorvino and Kudrow as two unsuccessful 28-year-olds who invent fake careers to impress their former classmates at their 10-year high school reunion.
In the decades since, the actors have fielded questions about a follow-up movie, until last year, when it was reported that they were in final talks to star in a sequel movie, directed and produced by Tim Federle (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) and written by Robin Schiff, who created the characters and penned the original 1997 film.
That project is now officially a go, with the 20th Century Studios film to stream exclusively as a Hulu Original on Hulu. The film will be available via Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S., and on Disney+ internationally.
In addition to Sorvino and Kudrow, returning from the original movie are Janeane Garofalo (as Heather), Alan Cumming (Sandy Frink), Camryn Manheim (Toby), and Julia Campbell (Christie). Newcomers joining the cast are Keegan-Michael Key (The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Only Murders in the Building), Rob Huebel (Five Star Weekend, Running Point), Breckin Meyer (Road Trip, Clueless), Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld, Bee Movie), and Nathan Lee Graham (Mid-Century Modern, Theater Camp). The new characters’ roles are being kept under wraps.
