Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino are in final negotiations to reprise their iconic roles in a sequel to the 1997 cult classic 'Romy and Michele's High School Reunion'.

Oscar-winner Sorvino and Emmy-winner Kudrow will also serve as executive producers on the Romy and Michele sequel.

Tim Federle, who wrote and directed the Disney+ original movie Better Nate Than Never and who created High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, will direct the feature, which is eyeing a June start date.

Directed by The Simpsons' David Mirkin, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion follows Romy (Sorvino) and Michele (Kudrow), two lifelong friends who were relentlessly bullied in high school. Now single, living together, and decidedly unambitious, they decide to attend their tenth high school reunion after a chance encounter with former classmate Heather (Janeane Garofalo). Desperate to impress their one-time social betters, especially cheerleader Christie (Julia Campbell) and her now-husband Billy (Vincent Ventresca), they reinvent themselves as successful businesswomen and claim to have invented the Post-It note.

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion had a modest success at the box office, making $29 million USD on a $20 million budget, the film became a cult classic on home video, thanks to its oddball humor, a soundtrack of 1980s hits, and the unconventional fashion sense of its main characters.
