Real talk: I have been waiting for this moment since I first saw that iconic post-it note scene. Romy and Michele are officially back, and I am not okay! Mira Sorvino just dropped the news that filming has started for the sequel, and honestly, my heart can’t take it. We’ve been manifesting this for decades, and it’s finally happening. Put on your best metallic dress and grab a cocktail, because we are going back to high school.
1. Mira’s ‘First Day’ Selfie Is A Total Mood
Did you see it? Mira posted a selfie from the set and she looks like she hasn’t aged a single day since 1997. It’s like she found the fountain of youth in a box of Post-its. Seeing her back in character energy is giving me life. I am honestly obsessed with how much she clearly loves this role. If the first day is this iconic, imagine what the rest of the movie will look like. I’m already crying.
2. Lisa Kudrow Is Back As Our Favorite Blonde

Lisa Kudrow is confirmed to return as Michele, and honestly, thank the movie gods. Can you even imagine a sequel without her? I can’t. She’s the yin to Romy’s yang. We need that specific brand of chaotic energy only they can provide. I’m just waiting for the day we get a photo of them together in those matching dresses. It’s going to break the internet, no cap.
3. It’s Been Almost 30 Years And We Are Still Obsessed
The original 1997 film has a solid 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it’s basically the bible of female friendship movies. It made over $29 million at the box office back in the day, which was a huge deal for a comedy like this. We’ve been quoting ‘I’m the Mary’ for literally decades. If you haven’t watched the original recently, what are you even doing with your life?
4. The Fashion Will Definitely Be Next Level
Okay, let’s talk clothes. The metallic dresses! The feather boas! The sheer audacity of their 90s wardrobe! I am living for the potential of 2026 updates to their iconic style. Are we going to see Y2K revival looks? Or are they going to double down on the original aesthetic? Whatever happens, I need a shopping montage immediately. My closet is ready to be completely ruined by their influence.
5. The Reunion We Didn’t Know We Needed
We’ve seen so many mediocre reboots lately, but this feels different. Why? Because the chemistry between Mira and Lisa is actually real. They genuinely love each other. You can’t fake that kind of friendship, and that’s why the original worked so well. It wasn’t just a movie; it was a vibe. I’m banking on this sequel bringing that same chaotic, wholesome energy back to our screens.
6. The Expectation For Iconic Quotes Is High
If we don’t get at least three new iconic lines that I can use in my group chat, I’m going to be so sad. ‘I’m the Mary’ is a classic, but we need fresh material for the 2026 era. I want to see them navigating modern dating apps or trying to be influencers. Can you imagine Romy trying to film a TikTok dance? I am literally laughing just thinking about it.
7. Is The Whole Cast Returning?
The big question is who else is showing up. Reports are swirling about potential cameos from the original high school squad. Can we get Janeane Garofalo back as Heather? She was the ultimate mood. Even if it’s just a quick wink to the audience, I’ll be happy. There’s something so special about seeing a cast reunite years later. It’s like a high school reunion but actually fun.
8. The Plot Is Still A Mystery And I’m Stressed
We don’t know much about the plot yet, and honestly, the suspense is killing me. Are they still living in LA? Did they finally make it big in the fashion world? I hope they’re still best friends living their best lives. If they aren’t besties, I’m throwing my phone. Please, let them still be the queens of the party. I need this win, and I know you do too.
9. The Soundtrack Potential Is Through The Roof
The original soundtrack was a total banger. If we don’t get a 2026 version of ‘Time After Time’ or something equally nostalgic, I’m going to riot. Music is such a huge part of this franchise’s soul. I’m expecting some iconic dance sequences that I will definitely be trying to recreate in my living room at 2 AM. Don’t judge me, you know you’ll be doing it too.
10. The Nostalgia Factor Is Off The Charts
Look, we’re all tired of the world being a bit of a mess. Sometimes you just need to watch two best friends navigate life in cute outfits. This movie is going to be the ultimate comfort watch. I’m already planning my watch party. It’s going to be a whole event. Snacks, drinks, and zero worries. Just pure, unadulterated 90s nostalgia. I am so ready for this.
11. It’s Going To Be A Streaming Hit
While we don’t have a confirmed streaming home yet, you know this is going to be the most-watched thing on whatever platform picks it up. I’m betting on Netflix or Hulu to scoop this up. It’s exactly the kind of movie that gets everyone talking on Twitter (or X, whatever we’re calling it now). It’s going to be a cultural moment, and we’re here for it.
12. Finally, A Movie For The Girls
At the end of the day, this movie is about female friendship. That’s the real reason we love it. It’s about having someone who always has your back, even when you’re both acting like total disasters. I love that we get to see Romy and Michele as adults. It’s proof that some friendships really do last forever. I’m not crying, you’re crying! Okay, we’re all crying.
