Despite fans being ready to have the time of their lives once again after Dirty Dancing 2 was revealed over four years ago, the sequel has long been delayed. But it looks like it may be coming soon as star Jennifer Grey gives a cryptic yet slightly promising update on the delay.
“I can’t tell you much about Dirty Dancing as I’m not going to make promises,” says Grey speaking to GamesRadar+ and other journalists at the BFI London red carpet premiere of her new movie A Real Pain. “I’m just waiting for them to really nail it down as it has to be right. We can push that aside until we next time we speak when it hopefully will all be ironed out.”
Released in 1987, Dirty Dancing follows Frances “Baby” Houseman (Grey) who meets and falls in love with a rebellious yet very charming dance instructor (Patrick Swayze) whilst on holiday with her family. But their budding relationship meets disapproval from her father due to their differing social standings. The film is considered one of thebest ‘80s moviesand has many memorable lines as well as a legendary soundtrack.
As for cast members, we do know that Grey will reprise her role and that the film will pay tribute to the late Swayze who played Johnny Castle. “There will never be another Johnny. There will never be another Patrick,” said Grey in an interview withThe Express. The star has also expressed her wish onThe Drew Barrymore Showfor musician andDon’t Worry Darlingactor Harry Styles to join the project. Could Styles be Kellerman’s new all-singing-all-dancing instructor? We will have to wait and see.
Dirty Dancing is available to watch for free on ITVX in the UK. For more, keep up to date withupcoming moviesheading your way soon.
