The film is coming and it will be directed by Jonathan Levine and will be set in the 1990s, reported Deadline.
The music will range from songs from the original to ‘90s Hip-Hop.
In December 2022, Jennifer Grey told Extra that the film will see her reprise her role as Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman, and that she’ll be “quite a few years older.”
“You will see other characters that are from the original,” she added.
Filmmaker Jonathan Levine said: “The most important thing for us was having Jennifer on board.”
He added. “She is an invaluable collaborator. We’re going to try to involve as many people from the original as is appropriate. We want to be respectful in every way.”

However, in 2023, it was reported that due to the Hollywood writers’ strikes, the film had been delayed until the summer of 2025.
