Love Actually will finally get a sequel

14 years after the romantic comedy Love Actually was released, the film is to have a sequel of sorts that welcomes back some of our favourite characters.

Although unfortunately not a full length film, writer Richard Curtis will be treating us to a ten minute short for Comic Relief and Red Nose Day. Titled 'Red Nose Day Actually', many of the original cast have reportedly signed up to take part.

Hugh Grant (the Prime Minister), Keira Knightley (Juliette), Lucia Moniz (Aurelia), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Sam), Liam Neesen (Daniel), (Olivia Olson (Joanna), Bill Nighy (Billy), Marcus Brigstocke (Mikey), and Rowan Atkinson (Rufus) are all set to reprise their roles.

The original film followed the lives of couples in London and abroad as they dealt with their love lives at Christmas.

British Director Richard Curtis revealed it was his love of working on Red Nose Day specials for other shows of his, including The Vicar of Dibley and Mr. Bean, that made him want to revisit the love stories from Love Actually.

The sequel is set to air on Friday 24th March 2017.
