The filming of Romy and Michele 2 ha officially startedwith the return of Mira Sorvino y Lisa Kudrowin leading roles.
The announcement was made by 20th Century Studios on their official networks, accompanied by the debut of the first image, which allows a glimpse of Sorvino and Kudrow, sitting with their backs to the camera (available below).
In addition to reprising their roles, Sorvino and Kudrow are executive producers.
The sequel to the 1997 comedy, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, obtained the official green light in January 2025, with Robin Schiffscreenwriter of the original film, back as screenwriter of the new installment.
Tim Federle (Better Nate Than Never, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), directs Schiff's script.
In addition to the script of Romy and Michele’s High School ReunionSchiff has written series such as Emily in Paris, Uncoupledy Sideswiped.
The original 1997 film, directed by David Mirkin, revolves around Sorvino and Kudrow as Romy and Michele, respectively, a pair of up-and-coming 29-year-olds who decide to forge successful careers to impress their former classmates at their 10-year-old high school reunion. Fashion, comedy and music all contributed to the film becoming a cult hit and being fondly remembered by members of a certain generation.
Touchstone Pictures produced the feature film. The company operated as a production company brand owned by The Walt Disney Company, from 1984 to 2016. It no longer exists. It was distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (now Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures). Migrating the sequel to 20th Century Studios seems like the most natural option.
Laurence Mark, producer of the original, is a producer on the sequel alongside Barry Kemp.
