Lose a Guy in 10 Days Challenge 2
The magic of the original romantic comedy, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, is reportedly back in development, with a sequel reportedly slated for production at Paramount Pictures.
The star power is already locked in, as Kate Hudson is attached to produce the follow-up. This means the dynamic duo—Matthew McConaughey and Hudson—may be set to reprise their roles, continuing the charming, high-stakes narrative that launched them into stardom.
The goal of the new film appears to be a return to the chemistry and premise of the original, though creative direction is currently taking shape. A screenwriter is actively being sought to craft a story that audiences will warm up to, setting the stage for new complications and romantic entanglements.
Adding to the buzz around this potential project is the involvement of seasoned industry talent. Longtime producer Stacey Sher, known for producing hits like Pulp Fiction and Erin Brockovich, is also reportedly on board to help steer the production.
This potential sequel slots perfectly into a current cinematic trend. It joins a growing wave of follow-up films exploring beloved franchises and popular comedic concepts. This latest project is part of a slate that includes titles like The Devil Wears Prada 2, Toy Story 5, and Scary Movie, alongside other anticipated installments like Practical Magic 2 and Focker-In-Law.
The original film proved to be a significant commercial success, grossing $177.5 million against a relatively modest production budget of $50 million. For McConaughey, the film has also been a notable source of residual income, cementing its place in his filmography.
