Mira Sorvino spent the first day on set for the Romy and Michele sequel in costume and told viewers, “After 30 years, we have a sequel... I couldn't be more excited.” Lisa Kudrow is back with her, and the project has moved from talk to active filming.
Romy and Michele 2
That first day on set is the clearest sign yet that Romy and Michele 2 has left development behind. The original Romy and Michele's High School Reunion came out in 1997, so this is the first concrete production update in nearly 30 years.
Mira Sorvino shared the video from the set of Romy and Michele 2 and said the production had just finished its first day. For anyone tracking the sequel as a business proposition, that means the film is no longer just a title on a slate; it has entered the phase where scenes are being shot, not simply discussed. Lisa Kudrow’s past tributes show how closely her name is tied to the reunion of this screen pair, even before a release plan is public.
Lisa Kudrow Returns
Lisa Kudrow and Sorvino are the named returning stars, which is the part of the sequel that gives the project its value. Without a plot summary or release date, the draw right now is the reunion itself, and the cast pairing is doing the heavy lifting until the studio decides how to position the film.
The source leaves out the next step after day one, but that omission is itself useful for readers: production has started, yet the commercial plan around the sequel has not been laid out in public. For now, the practical takeaway is simple — the movie exists as an active shoot, and fans of Romy and Michele finally have a real milestone to watch rather than a promise.
