One of the most beloved romcoms in Hollywood is set to conquer the silver screen. A sequel to "My Best Friend's Wedding" is in the works at ABC, bringing the classic romance to a new audience almost two decades after its original release.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "My Best Friend's Wedding" is already being discussed among the ABC executives and the producers of the original film. The television sequel will be adapted by Academy Award winner Ron Bass and it is set to be a half-hour comedy series in the small screen.

The end of "My Best Friend's Wedding" saw Julia Roberts' character Julianne Potter or Jules finally let go of his best friend Michael (Dermot Mulroney) so he could marry his fiancé Kimmy (Cameron Diaz). Her friend George (Rupert Everett) showed up at the wedding to console her and they share a dance as the last scene of the film.

The potential for the television adaptation is endless as the open ending allows the producers to go in so many directions for the now-single Julianne. According to a report from Deadline, the television show will follow Julianne as she navigates her New York City lifestyle alongside best friend George.

Bass, who penned the original screenplay, will be writing the script for the pilot with Jessica Amento. Executive producers include Bass, Jerry and Janet Zucker (also from the big screen feature), and Mike Menchel. The new comedy will be part of Sony Pictures Television along with Adam Sandler and Doug Robinson's studio-based Happy Madison Television.

In a video from Access Hollywood where Roberts and Mulroney interviewed each other in 2013, the pair flashed back to their experience with "My Best Friend's Wedding."

"I would say that movie is timeless in many ways," Mulroney said of the film.

When asked by Roberts about the 1997 classic romantic comedy, the leading man explained how much he loved the way "My Best Friend's Wedding" has persisted throughout the years.

"It did wonderful things of course," Mulroney responded. "Everybody came out of that movie great, Rupert, Cameron, yourself. It was a great experience making it. And the thing that I got out of that movie is how long it has lasted, there's still new people seeing it."

He added, "And the people that I like the most are 32-year-old women now. They were 15 at the time and it was right there in their bread basket. Now they're grown women."

With the upcoming television based in their movie, more people across generations will be falling in love with the story all over again.
