\n\tMira Sorvino<\/a> is giving fans a long-awaited reunion with the Romy and Michele sequel, which kicked off production<\/a> this month.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Friday, the Oscar winner expressed her gratitude and shared \u201cthoughts from our first day\u201d of filming the Tim Federle-helmed sequel to Romy and Michele\u2019s High School Reunion (1997), for which writer Robin Schiff has returned to pen the script.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOK, I just want to document the fact that we finished the first day of Romy and Michele 2<\/a>, and \u2018one day\u2019 has become day one,\u201d she said in a video<\/a> on Instagram. \u201cAfter 30 years, we have a sequel. This is the biggest dream project ever, and I couldn\u2019t be more excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSorvino added in the caption, \u201cI am so full of gratitude my heart could burst!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, Sorvino and co-star Lisa Kudrow reunited as the eponymous fashionistas, as 20th Century Studios announced that production had begun<\/a> on the film, which will stream as a Hulu Original.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the first film, former outcasts Romy (Sorvino) and Michele (Kudrow) travel from Los Angeles to Tucson for their 10-year high school reunion, where they pose as the inventors of Post-its to impress their fellow alums, only for the pair to realize their life is so much more fun when they\u2019re being themselves.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlan Cumming, Janeane Garofalo, Camryn Manheim and Julia Campbell are confirmed to reprise their roles, with Keegan-Michael Key, Rob Huebel, Breckin Meyer, Patrick Warburton and Nathan Lee Graham also joining the ensemble.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected and produced by Federle and written by Schiff, Laurence Mark is returning as producer. Barry Kemp returns as executive producer, alongside Sorvino, Kudrow and Schiff. Kimberly McCullough serves as co-producer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWith costume designer Mona May returning, the creative team also includes director of photography Marco Fargnoli, production designer Hillary Gurtler and editor Brian Olds. Sarah Shepard is overseeing the project for 20th Century Studios.<\/p>\n
