Could a sequel to 27 Dresses be in the works?
Katherine Heigl, who starred in the popular 2008 romantic comedy alongside James Marsden, Malin Akerman and Judy Greer, seems to be really open to the idea.
“I think that we’re in talks about a 27 Dresses sequel, which, if done right and with that cast I love so much, would definitely be something I’d be willing to sort of compromise the mom time to do,” the Grey’s Anatomy alum, 46, told E! News.
27 Dresses follows Jane (Heigl), who has been a bridesmaid 27 times but has never been married. She’s secretly in love with her boss until he unexpectedly gets engaged to her own sister (Akerman). Jane then meets a journalist (Marsden) who’s writing a story about her “always a bridesmaid” life. They eventually fall in love, and she finally becomes a bride herself.
Heigl previously expressed interest in reprising her role for a follow-up film.
“I want to do a sequel,” she told Entertainment Tonight back in 2019. “Unfortunately we can’t quite get the rights…I think it would be awesome to see what are their lives like 10 years later? Do they end up together? I personally think they did.”
She added at the time, “I think [Tess and George] have, like, three kids and she’s made Jane the godmother every time, so Jane has to plan the christenings and the baby showers and the gender-reveal parties, but then all the other bridesmaids [also] make her the godmother. But [Jane and Kevin] can’t get pregnant.”
