Why it matters: This sequel offers a joyful return to beloved characters, providing nostalgic comfort and fresh laughter for fans of Romy and Michele.

Remember Romy White and Michele Weinberger, the iconic duo who, in 1997, convinced everyone they invented Post-it Notes? Well, get ready for an update, because after nearly 30 years, they’re finally back.

For those who missed the original masterpiece, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion followed the two best friends (played by Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow) as they journeyed from LA to Tucson, Arizona. Their mission? To stun their old high school's "A-Group" mean girls at their 10-year reunion. This involved business suits, a truly epic lie about office supplies, and, ultimately, a triumphant dance sequence that launched their own fashion boutique.

Reunion Confirmed

Rumors of a sequel have been swirling for what feels like forever, but 20th Century Fox finally put them to rest on June 8, 2026. The studio dropped the news like it was hot off the presses, confirming that "The reunion you’ve been waiting for! The Romy and Michele sequel is now in production."

Fans, naturally, lost their minds. The comment section became a delightful explosion of quotes and emojis, with Mira Sorvino herself chiming in: "It’s finally happening. Bursting with joy to be ‘reunited!’" One fan perfectly captured the collective excitement, quipping, "Is that an earthquake? No it’s Ramonnnnn one of my all time favorite movies!"

And, of course, everyone is holding their breath for one crucial detail: "THERE HAD BETTER BE A DANCE SEQUENCE." Because what's Romy and Michele without some highly choreographed, slightly awkward, deeply joyful movement?

While there’s no official release date yet, the fact that Disney+ and Hulu were tagged in the announcement gives us a pretty good idea of where we’ll be catching up with our favorite (faux) inventors. Prepare your best business casual, because this reunion is going to be something.
