A How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days sequel is real, 23 years on. Here is exactly who is attached, what is still missing, and the number that made it happen.
Paramount has set up a sequel to its 2003 romantic comedy, with Kate Hudson attached to produce. The project was reported on 24 August 2026.
She is confirmed as a producer. The plan is for her to play Andie Anderson again too, but that is an intention, not a signed deal.
He has been approached about returning as ad man Benjamin Barry. Nothing is locked. Both leads have said the script decides it.
Hudson produces through her Shiny Penny banner alongside Stacey Sher, whose credits include Erin Brockovich, Django Unchained and Contagion.
The sequel has no writer and no director attached, and the plot is still open. That is why the casting is phrased as a hope rather than a done deal.
No release date exists. The film sits at the earliest stage of development, so a cinema date realistically lands years, not months, away.
Studios are mining 2000s comedies for legacy sequels, with The Devil Wears Prada 2 leading the wave. Nostalgia is currently the safest bet in the genre.
The 2003 original cost about $50 million and took roughly $177.5 million worldwide. Audiences handed it an A-minus CinemaScore.
The love fern. Composure magazine. That butter-yellow Carolina Herrera gown, worn with an 84-carat yellow diamond necklace called the Isadora.
A producer, two willing leads and no screenplay. Everything else about How to Lose a Guy 2 depends on the script nobody has written yet.
