The 2004 comedy White Chicks is finally getting a sequel.
According to star Terry Crews, the cult classic is finally coming back for round two after years of speculation.
The Brooklyn Nine-Nine star made the announcement while responding to a caller’s question on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
“I actually got with Shawn [Wayans] and he was like, ‘Man, we’re doing it, we’re getting it going,’” Crews said, to enthusiastic applause.
The first film followed two FBI agents, played by Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans, who go undercover as white women in order to solve a string of kidnappings. Keenen Ivory Wayans directed from a script he co-wrote with his siblings and Xavier Cook, Andy McElfresh, and Michael Anthony Snowden.
Crews portrayed a basketball player unknowingly in love with a black man in disguise as a white woman in the original film. He added: “I’ve been working out for 15 years so I can do White Chicks 2, y’all! Please, please.”
White Chicks became the top-grossing comedies of 2004 with $113 million at the worldwide box office.
