Sweetie Darlings! Filming Has Begun on AbFab Movie!

Edina and Patsy are officially back, darlings.

After several years of rumors about an Absolutely Fabulous movie, it was confirmed on Monday that principal photography had started on Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, with Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley reprising the roles they made famous on the original hit BBC ‘90s TV series. The comedy — from BBC Films and Fox Searchlight — will shoot on location and in France for seven weeks, and sees the pair forced to flee to the French Riviera after being “blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party,” according to the release.

“I am thrilled and excited to finally start filming. We are all taking our medication and hoping for the best,” said Saunders. Monday’s announcement also included the first photo from the film (above), of Edina and Patsy on the back of a boat, raising glasses of Champagne.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, reunites Saunders and Lumley as the iconic Edina and Patsy along with the rest of the original cast that includes Julia Sawalha as Saffy, Jane Horrocks as Bubble and June Whitfield as Mother.
