After getting the go-ahead in January last year, the sequel to 1997 comedy \u201cRomy and Michele\u2019s High School Reunion\u201d is finally filming with shooting having kicked off in Los Angeles this past Friday.<\/p>\n

Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow reprise their starring roles in the 20th Century Studios film and serve as executive producers while Tim Federle (\u201cBetter Nate Than Never,\u201d \u201cHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Series\u201d) directs.<\/p>\n

In the original, the pair played two unaccomplished women who try to impress their former classmates at their 10th anniversary high school reunion by making up fake careers. The title became a cult hit in the years since.<\/p>\n

Their lie? They invented Post-its. Janeane Garofalo, Alan Cumming, Julia Campbell, and Camryn Manheim all return from the original while Keegan-Michael Key, Rob Huebel, Breckin Meyer, Patrick Warburton and Nathan Lee Graham join the cast.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmily in Paris\u201d showrunner Robin Schiff, who wrote the original film, has returned to pen the sequel. Laurence Mark and Barry Kemp also produce.<\/p>\n

The sequel will stream exclusively as a Hulu Original on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.<\/p>\n
