Directed by Tim Federle and written by Robin Schiff, the plot follows the characters as they manage their Beverly Hills fashion boutique and attend a classmate’s wedding. The cast will include Keegan-Michael Key and Rob Huebel.

During the announcement, both actresses discussed their feelings regarding the project. Kudrow expressed concerns about “merely imitating her original character,” while Sorvino noted her own anxieties regarding authenticity. Sorvino also shared that she has never attended a high school reunion due to negative experiences with former classmates, and Kudrow stated she has no desire to attend one again.
