Rob Lowe says *St. Elmo’s Fire 2* is officially in the works, with the actors keen to return. The project has been discussed since at least 2024, but Lowe previously described the talks as being at a very early stage; he now expects the group to receive a script draft in early October.

The sequel would revisit the Georgetown graduates from Joel Schumacher’s 1985 film, which starred Lowe, Demi Moore, Andrew McCarthy, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez. The original earned $37.8 million at the box office on a $10 million budget, despite mixed reviews at the time; its reputation has since improved.
