Let’s face it: Girl Trip had us laughing so hard, our abs hurt, and it made us so grateful for our gal pals. If you’ve been dying to see a Girls Trip 2 like the rest of us, fear not, because it looks like the Flossy Posse is getting back together!
According to Girls Trip star Regina Hall, “the girls are coming back” for a sequel to the breakout comedy.
On Friday, Hall was a guess on Buzzfeed News’ AM to DM, and according to Entertainment Weekly, Hall said said a sequel was in the works.
“We’re trying to make that happen,” Hall told BuzzFeed News’ AM to DM. “So we’re trying to get everything together with the schedule. I think they’re working on something. I don’t know where we’re going. I don’t know where the girls are going, but… we’re going somewhere.”

Nothing is finalized yet, but it’s all in motion.
Not only was Girls Trip so important about showing us the power of female friendships, it made history as the first all-black team to reach the $100 million milestone at the box office, Hello Giggles reports.
Talk of a sequel had buzzing about audiences everywhere when the movie’s success showed again that a film with women, especially women of color, in leading roles could make a lot of money.
The success of Girls Trip also launched Tiffany Haddish into the spotlight, and deservedly so. Haddish definitely was the star of the movie.
Haddish had even previously said she’s been “constantly bothering the studios” about a sequel.
“Every time I see one of the executives, I say, ‘When are we doing Girls Trip 2? How’s it going to work out? Here, I have a few ideas,’” Haddish said. “I’m like writing it myself. I’m so ready for Girls Trip 2 to happen. And so is Jada and Queen Latifah and Regina, we all talk about it. We talk to each other at least once or twice a month, like ‘What do you think? What about this idea?’ I’m like, we should just write it ourselves and then present it to the studio, like, ‘When are we going to shoot this?’”
A Girls Trip sequel can’t happen soon enough.
