A sequel to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is in development, with Kate Hudson set to return 23 years after the original romantic comedy was released.
The 2003 film starred Hudson as a magazine writer who sets out to drive a man away within ten days for an article, unaware that he has his own reasons for sticking around.
It became a box office hit and has remained a favourite with audiences, frequently cited among the best-loved romcoms of its era.
“Romantic comedies thrive on characters audiences feel they know, and two decades on, that affection is still there.”
Details of the sequel's plot have not been revealed, and it is not yet clear which other cast members may return.
The project comes amid a wider revival of interest in romantic comedies, with studios and streaming services returning to the genre.
News of the sequel prompted excitement among fans online, with many speculating about where the characters might be now.
Romantic comedies were a box office mainstay in the late 1990s and early 2000s before falling out of favour with studios, which increasingly focused on franchises and superhero films. Streaming services have since helped revive the genre, with several new titles attracting large audiences.
Sequels to beloved films made decades later have had mixed fortunes, but nostalgia has proved a powerful draw for audiences.
Hudson's career since the original has spanned film, television and music.
No release date has yet been announced. Further casting news is expected in the months ahead.
