Oh boy, oh boy! The '90s are back, baby! And I'm not just talking about flannel shirts and high-waisted jeans (although, let's be real, those are coming back too). No, no. I'm talking about the return of Romy and Michele!
That's right, folks! 20th Century Studios just dropped a bombshell on Instagram: a sequel to the iconic 1997 film "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" is in production! I mean, what's more '90s than this?!
Mira Sorvino (who played Romy) took to the comments section to express her excitement. "It's finally happening. Bursting with joy to be 'reunited'." Can you blame her? This is a dream come true for fans of the original film!
Now, before we get too ahead of ourselves, let's talk about the details. According to IMDb (the ultimate authority on all things movie-related), the sequel is expected to drop in 2027 – exactly 30 years after the original film hit theaters. That's a long time coming, but trust me when I say it'll be worth the wait.
The internet is already buzzing with excitement. Kerry Washington chimed in with a post-it-filled comment: "Gathering my post-its." Meanwhile, Aussie superstar Dannii Minogue was all about the reboot: "Some of my favorite movie quotes. Can’t wait for this reboot." And let's not forget Romy and Michele themselves – well, their actresses, Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow – who are probably just as thrilled to be reprising their roles.
This sequel news comes hot on the heels of a slew of other '90s reboots. You know, like "The Devil Wears Prada 2" (May release), which raked in over $76 million in its opening weekend. Or "Freakier Friday" (August 2025), which brought back Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis for a second helping of Freaky Fun.
But wait, there's more! "Practical Magic 2" is set to conjure up some magic in September, while "Bend It Like Beckham" will bend it – again – in 2027. Talk about a throwback extravaganza!
And that's not all, folks! Greta Cross, the national trending reporter at USA TODAY (that's me!), has got her finger on the pulse of what's hot and what's not. If you've got a story idea to share, hit up gcross@usatoday.com – I'll make sure it gets some serious attention!
As for now, let's just say: Romy and Michele are back, baby! Get ready for more big hair, bigger attitudes, and an even bigger dose of '90s nostalgia. Stay tuned for updates on this sequel and the rest of the retro movie magic happening in 2027 – or sooner!
