The news all Love Actually fans have been waiting for is finally here.
The hit Christmas film, which was released in 2003, is getting a sequel.
Director Richard Curtis is getting the cast together for a 10-minute sequel for for charity Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day.
A-listers including Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Rowan Atkinson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Martine McCutcheon, Andrew Lincoln, Bill Nighy, Lucia Moniz, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Marcus Brigstocke and Olivia Olson will all return.
Emma Thompson, who played Karen, won’t be returning. Alan Rickman, who played her husband, died in January 2016.
“I would never have dreamt of writing a sequel to Love Actually, but I thought it might be fun to do 10 minutes to see what everyone is now up to,” Curtis has explained. “Who has aged best? I guess that’s the big question … or is it so obviously Liam?”
“We’ve been delighted and grateful that so many of the cast are around and able to take part — and it’ll certainly be a nostalgic moment getting back together and recreating their characters 14 years later.”
The short film will premiere on BBC 1 on March 24 in the UK, and will air on NBC in the US on May 25.
