My Best Friend’s Wedding 2 Sequel in Early Development with Celine Song Writing

Sony Pictures is developing a sequel to the 1997 romantic comedy My Best Friend’s Wedding, with acclaimed filmmaker Celine Song hired to write the screenplay. The original film, starring Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Everett, was a major success and is considered a 90s rom-com classic. While Song is confirmed as the screenwriter, she will not direct the sequel, and casting details remain unconfirmed though speculation includes the possible return of the original stars. Dermot Mulroney recently hinted at the sequel's development, mentioning that "lawyers were talking," but he is not officially involved yet. Song, known for her Oscar-nominated Past Lives and the romantic comedy Materialists, brings a fresh and critically acclaimed voice to the project. The sequel aims to honor the original's legacy while exploring new emotional territory, although production is still in its early stages.
