The beloved 1997 comedy Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is getting a sequel, and production is underway.

The follow-up installment will bypass traditional theatrical release and instead premiere on Hulu, marking a shift in distribution strategy for the franchise.

The original film became a cultural touchstone over the decades, spawning devoted fans who have long anticipated a return to the world of the two party girls. The 1997 movie centered on a pair of friends who transform themselves for their 10-year high school reunion, complete with new looks and fabricated tales of professional achievement. Their carefully constructed facades unravel when a classmate reveals the truth to the group.

Tim Federle is attached to direct the sequel. The filmmaker gained recognition for his work on the Disney+ film Better Nate Than Never and for developing and overseeing the popular Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

Six members of the original cast have committed to returning for the sequel, though specific names and character details are set to be revealed.
