Fans of the beloved 1997 comedy Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion have reason to celebrate, as production has officially begun on the long-awaited sequel.

The upcoming film will see Kudrow and Sorvino reprise their iconic roles as best friends Romy White and Michele Weinberger. The sequel is expected to premiere exclusively on Hulu.
