Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion is getting a sequel with Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow in final talks to reprise their roles from the 1997 film.
The pair of actresses will also executive produce, and Tim Federle (Better Nate Than Never, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series) is attached to direct.
Production is eyeing a June start date, potentially in Los Angeles.
The reunion of all reunions was teased back in November 2024 when Sorvino told People that a deal had been made with a director and that she and Kudrow were on board as Eps. Then Kudrow shared in January the update that a “really good” script had been written.
Original scribe Robin Schiff returned to pen the sequel film. She has recently been behind Netflix’s hit series Emily in Paris as an executive producer and showrunner. Veteran producer Laurence Mark will also return after his work on the original film. Newhart series creator Barry Kemp will also produce.

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion featured the duo as two unaccomplished almost 30-year-olds who make up their entire careers to sound successful to their former classmates at their 10-year high school reunion. The movie became a cult classic remembered for its fashion, music and humor.
Sorvino most recently starred alongside Courtney Cox and Greg Kinnear in Shining Vale on Starz, and she also appeared in Impeachment: American Crime Story and Hollywood from creator Ryan Murphy. Kudrow can be seen starring alongside Ray Romano in Liz Feldman’s new murder mystery Netflix series, No Good Deed, which came out in December.
