An Absolutely Fabulous Movie Is on the Way

Cheers, darlings! A movie version of the British cult comedy Absolutely Fabulous is officially on the way. The BBC show originally aired from 1992 to 1995, had a two-part finale in 1996, came back from 2001 to 2004, and aired three specials between 2011 and 2012. Basically, it's a huge part of television culture in the UK, and now it's coming to the big screen. Creator and star Jennifer Saunders confirmed the news this week, noting that costar Joanna Lumley wanted to "do it before we all die." The series revolves around Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone, two heavy drinkers whose lives are pretty much messes. Stay tuned for plot details and release-date information!
