Development

In February 2024, Mira Sorvino revealed she and Lisa Kudrow were finalizing deals for a sequel to Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, with writer Robin Schiff returning.[1] In January 2025, The Hollywood Reporter said Sorvino and Kudrow were in final talks to return, with filming expected to begin in mid-2025 with Tim Federle directing.[2] In May 2025, Alan Cumming said he would be reprising his role as Sandy Frink in the sequel, which is aiming to release in 2027.[3] 20th Century Studios was the studio where the film's director David Mirkin had produced his more well-known project The Simpsons, with the original film itself including a clip of this show on a television.[4]

Filming

Principal photography began on June 8, 2026,[5] with Janeane Garofalo, Camryn Manheim, and Julia Campbell returning from the first film, alongside Keegan-Michael Key, Rob Huebel, Breckin Meyer, Patrick Warburton, and Nathan Lee Graham joining the cast.[6] In August 2026, Anna Baryshnikov, Sofia Wylie, and Wendi McLendon-Covey rounded out the cast.[7][8]
