Rob Lowe finally has an update on the long-discussed “St. Elmo’s Fire” sequel.

“It is definitely in the works, for sure,” the actor said when asked about the project’s current status during a “Watch What Happens Live” appearance on Sunday. “All of us actors want to do it, and we’re supposed to get a draft of the script the first week of October.”

While Lowe didn’t give much away, the news that the sequel is making progress is the latest update fans of the 1985 classic have been waiting on since the film was first announced in 2024. The “Parks and Recreation” actor told Entertainment Tonight that he’d “met with the studio” and had “been talking about doing it for about four months.” “But it’s very, very, very, very, very early stages,” he added. “So we will see.”
