- Romy and Michele's High School Reunion sequel is officially in production as a 20th Century Studios film streaming exclusively as a Hulu Original, available on Hulu in the U.S. (and via Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers) and on Disney+ internationally
- Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow reprise their roles from the 1997 cult classic, with Tim Federle directing and producing and Robin Schiff — who created the characters and wrote the original — penning the sequel
- Janeane Garofalo, Alan Cumming, Camryn Manheim, and Julia Campbell return from the original film, while new cast members Keegan-Michael Key, Rob Huebel, Breckin Meyer, Patrick Warburton, and Nathan Lee Graham join in roles being kept under wraps
- Laurence Mark returns as producer with Barry Kemp as executive producer, joined by executive producers Sorvino, Kudrow, and Schiff; THR first reported the production start
Why it matters: Nearly three decades after the original, a beloved cult comedy with persistent fan demand finally gets a sequel — and it's landing as a Hulu Original rather than a theatrical release, a streaming-first bet by 20th Century Studios and Disney on nostalgia IP. The decision to bring back Garofalo, Cumming, Manheim, and Campbell alongside Sorvino and Kudrow signals an emphasis on continuity for the built-in fanbase rather than a total reboot.
