Jennifer Grey is set to reprise her iconic role as Frances “Baby” Houseman in a new sequel to the loved ’80s film Dirty Dancing. In the years since the original classic was released in 1987, there have been numerous attempts to revive it as a multimedia franchise, with a 1988 TV series, a 2004 prequel (Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights), a 2015 made-for-TV musical, and a 2017 remake. Announced this week at CinemaCon, this latest sequel marks the first time any of the original cast have returned to reprise their roles. Patrick Swayze, who played Grey’s love interest in the first film, passed away in 2009. A planned miniseries revival in the mid-2010s was also cancelled before it could get off the ground.
