Overview
- Rob Lowe told The Kelly Clarkson Show that the group is “working on” a sequel script, an update published Sunday that signals active writing rather than a production greenlight.
- Lowe said everyone involved wants to do the follow-up and that the priority is getting the screenplay right before committing to filming or a release plan.
- The remark builds on Lowe’s 2024 comment that the project was in very early stages after studio meetings and that renewed interest followed the Brats documentary.
- Multiple original cast members have expressed interest in returning, which producers view as a key asset but not a substitute for a finished script.
- The property has a stop-start history—NBC explored a modernized St. Elmo’s Fire series in 2019 that did not move forward—so a completed script will be the main milestone to watch next.
