Yes. Girls Trip 2 is happening! Girls Trip producer Will Packer announced the exciting news on Good Morning America on Jan. 21, 2022.
"Can't we all use a post-pandemic trip, my friend?" he posed to host Michael Strahan during the broadcast. Will continued: "I think that the time is actually right, and this is something that I will tell you and break right now at GMA: the Girls Trip 2 sequel, we are underway."
He further shared that "the ladies are in" and he has already spoken with the movie's director.
While details continue to be ironed out, Will noted that this upcoming sequel will make light of current times, as this will be the Flossy Posse's first trip together post-pandemic. Which, if you ask us, already makes it sound like it will be wilder than the original.
