The Flossy Posse may finally be dusting off their passports. Tiffany Haddish confirmed that Girls Trip 2 is moving forward, sharing a fresh update on filming and teasing where the sequel might take the women next.
Speaking at the PEOPLE and InStyle Drive-By F1 Party in Las Vegas, Haddish revealed that production is expected to begin this summer. “I don’t know exactly where we’re going, but I know it’s somewhere exotic and somewhere we don’t normally go, but we should go as much as possible,” she said. “That’s what I do know. We’re supposed to start shooting this summer.”
Her update comes after years of anticipation. Producer Will Packer confirmed the sequel was officially in motion back in 2022, noting that Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Regina Hall, and Haddish would all reprise their roles — and that the team was exploring international destinations for the next chapter.
Co-screenwriter Tracy Oliver later shared that the story is set to take the women to Ghana’s Afrochella (now AfroFuture) Festival, an annual celebration of music, art, and culture. Regina Hall echoed her excitement about the location, previously saying she found out “in real time” with everyone else and couldn’t wait to reunite with the cast.
The road to Girls Trip 2 hasn’t been simple. The sequel was delayed first by conflicting schedules and then by the COVID-19 pandemic, which halted any film that relies heavily on crowds, travel, and festival settings. With the industry now back in full swing and calendars aligned, the long-awaited reunion is finally approaching.
The original Girls Trip—directed by Malcolm D. Lee and written by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver—became a cultural touchstone in 2017. The film followed four lifelong friends reconnecting during Essence Fest in New Orleans and went on to earn $140 million worldwide on a $19 million budget, featuring cameos from Common, Faith Evans, Morris Chestnut, Ne-Yo, Ava DuVernay, and Mariah Carey.
Now, nearly a decade later, the next getaway is officially on the horizon — and if Haddish’s tease is any indication, the Flossy Posse is headed somewhere unforgettable.
