Girls Trip 2 confirmed by co-writer Tracy Oliver! 'That it's officially happening. I can say that.' And Oliver revealed where it will take place: 'We're looking to set it in Ghana.'
Tracy Oliver, co-writer of Girls Trip, confirms Girls Trip 2 is on the way with a change of scenery. Girls Trip was a smash hit comedy released in 2017 that was produced on a $19 million budget before earning $140 million worldwide. The film follows four lifelong friends, played by Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Tiffany Haddish, and Jada Pinkett Smith, who take a vacation to New Orleans to attend the Essence Festival, where they embrace the fun and rekindle relationships.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While speaking with Variety at the Sundance Film Festival, Oliver gave a "definitive Girls Trip 2 update," stating, "That it's officially happening. I can say that." She also went on to provide some details about the plot and setting of the film, even though it may upset producer Will Packer, revealing, "we're looking to set it in Ghana.
With Girls Trip seeing the characters in New Orleans for the Essence Festival, the fact that the sequel is set in Ghana offers some insight. After Oliver revealed the setting at Sundance, Harlem actor Shoniqua Shandai shouted, "Afrochella!" The Afrochella Festival is an event that celebrates African music and culture. So with Girls Trip 2 headed to Ghana, it looks to set up another festival for the protagonists to attend.
Further plot details are currently unknown, but with a similar conceit as the first film, Girls Trip 2 could be looking to copy the formula for success, putting the characters through humorous situations while in a unique festival location. However, the film could also be attempting to subvert expectations by bringing in the audience that loved the first film and then offering them a unique spin they weren't quite anticipating, like what 22 Jump Street embraced.
