Fans of the 1998 teen movie Can’t Hardly Wait are in for a treat, as Deborah Kaplan, who co-wrote and directed the cult classic alongside Harry Elfont, announced Saturday via Instagram that a musical remake of the original film is in the works. Kaplan wrote, “And that’s all I’m able to say @canthardlywaitthemusical #comingsoon.”

In a conversation with Deadline, Kaplan revealed that while she and Elfont are “mostly benevolent godparents watching from the sidelines” in the production of the upcoming musical, the new film will be very influenced by the plot of Kaplan and Elfont’s original script, as it “follows a group of high school seniors on the eve of graduation, as they navigate the ending of this chapter of their lives at a classmates’ house party. What will the future bring? That is a question for another day.”

The musical adaptation of the 1998 classic will be directed by Kate Sullivan, who has previously worked on musical film adaptations such as Grease Live! and Rent: Downtown LA, with Michael Barra and Allison Bressi of Lively McCabe Entertainment producing the upcoming project. “Can’t Hardly Wait has grown to become a cult hit for three generations of film audiences and has long been a dream of ours to adapt it for a broad theatrical audience,” says Barra. “We’re grateful to Deb and Harry and our friends at Columbia Pictures for entrusting us with this iconic property, and are so looking forward to again collaborating with our partners at Primary Wave to contribute to its legacy.”
