The highly 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.
Actors Alan Cumming (Sandy Frink) and Julia Campbell (Christie Masters) are confirmed to reprise their roles alongside the duo, with Rob Huebel also joining the cast.
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.”
