Rob Lowe has confirmed that a sequel to the 1985 coming‑of‑age film St. Elmo’s Fire is still in development. Variety reported that the actor told Watch What Happens Live during a Sunday appearance that the project is “definitely in the works, for sure.”

When asked about the film’s current status, Lowe cited a draft script that is expected to circulate soon. He added, “All of us actors want to do it, and we’re supposed to get a draft.” The comment underscores a collective enthusiasm among the original cast, who have long teased a reunion on screen.

Although the sequel has been a topic of speculation for more than a decade, this statement provides the first concrete evidence that production is moving forward. The original movie, which followed a group of recent college graduates navigating love and career, remains a cultural touchstone for many who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. A new chapter would not only rekindle that nostalgia but also offer a fresh perspective on the characters’ lives thirty years later.

With a script draft on the horizon and a cast eager to return, the next steps likely involve securing financing, finalizing the screenplay, and scheduling production dates. Fans and industry observers will be watching closely for announcements regarding release dates and additional cast confirmations, which could signal the project’s full return to the big screen.
