Dirty Dancing is getting its long-awaited sequel to be directed and co-written by Jonathan Levine. The film already has a 2024 release date.

Even more exciting, Jennifer Grey will reprise her iconic role of Baby, as the sequel brings her back to a 1990s version of the Catskills resort. The film, according to Levine, will follow a similar plot of a coming-of-age romance of a young woman at the resort, with Baby living out her own arc alongside.

“While the original Dirty Dancing has always been one of my favorite films, I never imagined I would direct the sequel,” Levine said. “Through co-writing it, I fell in love with the characters (new and old), the world of 1990s Catskills New York, and the music, which will range from songs from the original movie to ‘90s hip-hop. I can’t wait to collaborate with Jennifer [Grey] to bring this beautiful story of summer and romance and dancing to a generation of new fans. And to the longtime ones, I promise we will not ruin your childhood. We will tackle the assignment with sophistication, ambition, and, above all, love.”
