On Tuesday, Lionsgate provided the first update to the “Dirty Dancing” sequel, which was first announced at CinemaCon in 2022.

“Hunger Games” and “Crazy Rich Asians” producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson are set to oversee the sequel, with production hoping to start later this year.

The film’s original star, Jennifer Grey, is also set to reprise her role as Frances “Baby” Houseman, along with being an executive producer on the film.

With the latest update, Grey said in a statement, “The role of Baby has held a very deep and meaningful place in my heart, as it has in the hearts of so many fans over the years. I’ve long wondered where we might find Baby years later and what her life might be like, but it’s taken time to assemble the kind of people that I felt could be entrusted to build on the legacy of the original film... and I’m excited to say that it looks like the wait will soon be over!”

Other casting news has not been revealed yet, but during an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the actress admitted that she’d love to see Harry Styles have a role.

She also promised the sequel would feature “dancing,” “music,” and “sex.”

“'Dirty Dancing’ remains as beloved today as it was upon its initial release, and we knew that a very special group of people would have to come together for fans to embrace a return to Kellerman’s," said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chairman Adam Fogelson in a statement. "We are beyond thrilled to announce we have assembled the perfect team to carry this film forward in partnership with Jennifer Grey. There are no better producers for this movie than our longtime partners and friends Nina and Brad from ‘The Hunger Games,’ and we could not be more excited to have Kim coming on board to write. With this super team now in place, we are moving full steam ahead so that both existing fans and new audiences can discover the magic, the music and the emotion that is ‘Dirty Dancing’ in a new theatrical film meant for the big screen."
