A Dirty Dancing sequel is in the works

The Dirty Dancing Muppets edit follows hype for a sequel to the 1987 film. The sequel was confirmed back in 2020, with more details about the project released earlier this month.

As per the Deadline, the sequel will be set in the 90s and will see Jennifer Grey reprise her role as Baby.

While the new film probably won’t opt to include The Muppets Show song in its soundtrack, the movie reportedly will include 90s hip-hop.
