Producer Will Packer teases that Girls Trip 2 will be bigger and better than the original. Directed by Malcolm D. Lee (Space Jam: A New Legacy), the original Girls Trip followed a group of friends, known as the Flossy Posse, as they reconnect on a trip to New Orleans for the Essence Music Festival. Regina Hall, Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Queen Latifah starred as the four friends, Ryan, Dina, Lisa, and Sasha, respectively. With its all-star cast, Girls Trip became the biggest comedy released in 2017, and talk about a sequel has been floating around ever since.
On the BET Awards red carpet, producer Packer gives an update on the Girls Trip sequel while speaking with ET. Packer confirms that Girls Trip 2 is currently in production, and teases that "it's gonna be better than the first one." The producer also shares that the Flossy Posse's next trip won't take them back to New Orleans, but rather a new location that will top the first. Check out Packer's full quote below:
"You can’t do Girls Trip 2 if you’re not gonna top yourself. I can't tell you where we're gonna go yet, but we were in New Orleans the first time and we're not going back to New Orleans. We're going somewhere bigger and better. When we announce it, you'll remember I said that to you."
Packer does not confirm Girls Trip 2's new location, but some sources suspect the sequel will take place in South Africa. This location could be likely, considering Packer recently filmed the new movie Beast with Idris Elba in South Africa, and star Queen Latifah also mentioned it as a possible location for the Girls Trip sequel. Wherever Girls Trip 2 leads the Flossy Posse, fans will be excited to hear that the highly anticipated sequel is on its way.
