After making their big return to the stage in 2019, the Spice Girls may be making a sequel to their 1997 hit movie Spice World.

According to The Sun four members of the band—Geri Horner (Ginger Spice), Melanie C (Sport Spice), Mel B (Scary Spice), and Emma Bunton (Baby Spice)—have approached a screenwriter about a follow-up to their film.

The reported project would mark the group’s 25th anniversary next year. The Spice Girls have reunited on several occasions including for the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony and a 13-date tour across the UK and Ireland in 2019 without Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice).

The Sun reported that the sequel is being spearheaded by the group’s manager Horner.

“The girls have been talking about how to mark the film’s anniversary and are actively considering making a tongue-in-cheek sequel. They have approached a screenwriter who is considering working on the project and making tentative steps forward. It is still in the early stages but they are talking to established names in the business, which proves they are taking a big screen comeback seriously,” a source told the outlet.

The original film starred the band as well as Richard E. Grant, Meat Loaf and Sir Elton John.
