'Girls Trip 2' sets course for Ghana with Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Tiffany Haddish set to return.
Girls Trip 2, the long-awaited sequel to the acclaimed Girls Trip, is finally happening and as confirmed by writer-producer Tracy Oliver, the sequel will see the girls reconnect once again for another fun getaway, and this time, the West African country, Ghana has been chosen as the rendezvous.
Oliver revealed this exciting news at the ongoing Sundance Film Festival where she is promoting the second season of her Prime Video comedy series, Harlem which is set to return to the streamer next month. Speaking to Variety Studio presented by Audible, Oliver revealed she had a “definitive ‘Girls Trip 2’ update" before going on to confirm that the sequel is "officially happening. I can say that.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While it appears that solid plans are in place for the long-anticipated sequel, Oliver revealed that there was no definitive timeline yet and that she was still in the process of crafting the script. She also revealed that the film's stars will utilize this year's Afrochella, an annual Coachella-esque music festival in Ghana to familiarize themselves with the country's capital, Accra in preparation for filming.
The original film was a massive commercial and critical success, grossing $140.9 million against a budget of $19 million which is an outstanding feat for an R-rated comedy. Girls Trip follows a group of four friends collectively known as the Flossy Posse, a name coined during their days as a college clique. After many years apart, they reunite for a vacation at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, and unsurprisingly, chaos ensues.
Girls Trip is written by Kenya Barris and Oliver and was inspired by a story from the duo and Erica Rivinoja based on real-life experiences they've shared with friends. More details are expected in the coming weeks and months, and as always stay tuned to Collider for timely updates. Check out the trailer for the original film below:
