EXCLUSIVE: Samuel Goldwyn Films will co-produce and provide domestic distribution for Stars Fell Again—the sequel to V.W. Scheich‘s rom-com Stars Fell on Alabama, starring James Maslow and Ciara Hanna, which it also released.
The sequel picks up one year after successful Hollywood agent Bryce Dixon (Maslow), and his client-turned-girlfriend Madison Belle (Hanna) started dating. Despite busy schedules, the couple has managed to make their relationship work. Bryce has even bought an engagement ring and is ready to propose to Madison while they visit her family in rural Oregon for Christmas. However, the spontaneous engagement and wedding of Madison’s sister Harper to her new boyfriend Noah throw Bryce’s perfect proposal plans into a tailspin. Can Bryce and Madison – with the help of their friends David (Johnnie Mack), Sarah (Cecilia Kim) and Larry – save Harper’s wedding and survive their own romantic hurdles?
The film directed by Scheich, which he wrote with Robert Windom and Uyen Le, also sees Jon Eiswerth reprising his role from the original film. It’s currently in pre-production and will head into production in Georgia in February 2022.
