In January, fans of Girls Trip received the news they had been waiting for. At Sundance Film Festival, Girls Trip co-screenwriter Tracy Oliver shared a “definitive” update regarding the sequel.
“It’s officially happening. I can say that,” Oliver said.
“No one else knows this and Will Packer might kill me, but we’re looking to set it in Ghana.”
The original film’s main cast of Regina Hall, Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah is expected to travel down to Ghana for the sequel. During a recent interview with PEOPLE, Hall explained that the sequel had been delayed for sometime due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but is excited to reunite with Haddish, Smith and Queen Latifah for another project.
“I’m excited to see the girls again and to make something hopefully that the fans love,” she said.
“I think the biggest thing is we had so much fun making the first one, and I just look forward to just having that kind of fun again and that audiences will hopefully love it as well.”
It is unclear when Packer and Oliver plan on delivering the long-awaited sequel to the big screen, but production is expected to begin later this year.
