Jennifer Grey teases new details about the Dirty Dancing sequel

Baby is officially coming out of the corner ...

A sequel to the iconic 1987 film Dirty Dancing is in the works, with Jennifer Grey reprising her central role as Frances 'Baby' Houseman and also executive-producing the project.

And now the 62-year-old actress has shared new details about the beloved movie's highly-anticipated sequel.

Speaking to Extra, Grey said: "I would say that you can count on it being at Kellerman’s, returning to Kellerman’s, and Baby quite a few years older. You will see other characters that are from the original."

Like the first film, the movie will feature a young woman at the Kellerman's holiday resort who has a coming-of-age-romance, with this story intertwining with the now grown-up Baby's own journey.

The sequel will be set in the 1990s.

But one key player of course will be absent; Patrick Swayze, who played co-lead Johnny, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2009.

Grey also confirmed that Swayze's role won’t be recast, but Johnny will still be "a part" of the plot.

The original Dirty Dancing film became a worldwide phenomenon, grossing $218 million and winning an Academy Award for Best Original Song with Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes' '(I've Had) The Time of My Life.'

Its first sequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, was released in 2004 and grossed $38 million worldwide.

The as-yet-untitled sequel will be dancing into cinemas on February 8, 2024.
