Lisa Kudrow is sharing an update on the Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion sequel that is in the works. The No Good Deed star is set to reprise her role as Michele Weinberger opposite Mira Sorvino in a sequel to the 1997 comedy. “We’re as close as we’ve ever been,” Kudrow said on The Drew Barrymore Show. “There’s a script that’s really good, [by] Robin Schiff.” Barrymore, a fan of the film, added, “Oh my God, I just got chills.

I really did,” with Kudrow noting, “So it’ll happen, I mean, we’ll see.” In the same interview on the daytime talk show, Kudrow revealed that the film was based on a play by Schiff, saying, “So they had to do a backers audition for the play to see if they could even mount the play.

And they went to all the [acting] teachers, ‘Who do you recommend to audition?’, so you know, I went.” “That was my first audition, ever, for ‘Airhead No.

2,’ Michele. We were these minor characters. We were on stage a total of seven minutes, in and out, for the whole play,” she said.
