Rob Lowe Says ST. ELMO'S FIRE Sequel Script Is "In the Works"- "Everyone Wants To Do It. We Just Need to Get the Script Right."

Two years ago, it was announced that the “Brat Pack” was looking to reunite with a sequel to the beloved 80s film St. Elmo’s Fire. The actors met with the studio, and it was decided that the project could move forward. Six-time Golden Globe nominee, Rob Lowe, recently revealed that the team is “working on” a script, which they want to get just right.

Lowe explained in an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, “I’m trying to get it done, but I’m excited. I think the reason that St. Elmo’s continues to mean a lot to people is because it’s such a great snapshot of your 20s. Everyone wants to do it. We just need to get the script right, and that’s what we’re working on.”

NBC was previously developing a St. Elmo’s Fire series in 2019, which was set to be a modernized take on the original but never materialized.

The original Joel Schumacher-directed film starred Lowe, Demi Moore, Andie MacDowell, Andrew McCarthy, Ally Sheedy, Mare Winningham, Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez as a group of recent college graduates who struggle with adulthood as they venture into the world.

The cast reunited to appear in McCarthy’s 2024 documentary Brats, revisiting the cultural phenomenon known as the Brat Pack, the young actors who frequently appeared together in teen coming-of-age films of the ’80s.

I look forward to seeing these actors reunite. Stay tuned for updates on this sequel.
