Jennifer Grey revealed some new details about DirtyDancing2. 'I'm excited by the challenge of looking at it from the point of view of what happens when it's 30 years later and it's the '90s.'
Jennifer Grey has teased some plot details about the upcoming legacy sequel Dirty Dancing 2. The original Dirty Dancing, which was released in 1987, followed Grey's character Baby Houseman as she vacationed in the Catskills with her family in 1963. Over the course of the summer, she falls in love with the resort's dance instructor Johnny Castle and he begins to teach her to dance, culminating in an epic lift move that captured the imagination of audiences for many years to follow.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The new film will be the first official sequel to Dirty Dancing, though the property has spawned a veritable franchise at this point between the 2004 prequel Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights and the 2017 TV movie remake starring Abigail Breslin. The film was announced at CinemaCon earlier this year, along with confirmation that Grey would be returning as Baby Houseman.
I'm excited by the challenge of looking at it from the point of view of what happens when it's 30 years later and it's the '90s. What happens with the person that had that experience — what happened to her and what is now relevant about the original story at a different moment, looking at it through a different lens.
While she was still tight-lipped about the nitty-gritty details of the project, Grey has let slip some important details about the film. The most important is the fact that the sequel, which is coming out in 2024 , will mostly approximate the amount of time that has passed in real life.
Dirty Dancing 2 still largely remains shrouded in mystery beyond that. It seems likely that the film will follow a Creed-style structure, introducing Baby as a mentor to a new troubled teen. Currently, the rest of the cast of the film is unknown, so more story details will likely come into the open when that is announced and the characters around Baby become more fleshed out.
