The beloved 1997 rom-com “My Best Friend’s Wedding” is getting a sequel — and fans are buzzing. Julia Roberts and Dermot Mulroney made Julianne and Michael iconic, and now, nearly 30 years later, their story is getting a new chapter.
“My Best Friend’s Wedding” Sequel Background
Oscar-nominated writer-director Celine Song (“Past Lives”) has been chosen to pen the script. While she won’t direct, her thoughtful storytelling and deep emotional insight make her a perfect fit to bring these characters back to life. Plot details are still under wraps, and no casting has been confirmed — but anticipation is high.
The original film followed Julianne as she tried to sabotage her best friend Michael’s wedding after realizing she loved him. Full of heart, humor, and unforgettable moments (like the singalong to “I Say a Little Prayer”), the movie became a rom-com staple, earning over $127 million at the box office.
Song’s addition signals a fresh, modern take — and possibly a deeper dive into love, friendship, and what happens after “I do.” With the resurgence of romantic comedies and a healthy dose of 90s nostalgia in the air, “My Best Friend’s Wedding 2” couldn’t come at a better time.
