Rob Lowe shared details on a possible sequel to the 1985 movie St. Elmo’s Fire. Forty years after co-starring with Demi Moore, Andrew McCarthy, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, and Mare Winningham in the Joel Schumacher hit, the now 61-year-old actor said a follow-up film could see the light of day—with all of the original stars from the first movie.
"There's a script due any minute," Lowe told Today.com in May 2025. “And hopefully it will be good, and we'll go off and make it. It's contingent on the script, obviously, but we've been developing it for quite a while, and everybody's super excited to do it. It would be great."
"Everybody wants to do it,” he added of the original cast. "We're going to give it a last hurrah with this one for sure."
In 2024, Lowe revealed on Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast that he was “very much in contact” with Moore to “actively” get the sequel to the 1985 coming-of-age drama developed. “It’s going a little more slowly than I would have liked,” he admitted. “But that’s a good thing because we’re trying to find the right writer and the right story. But all of the actors, everybody is on board. Everybody is excited.”
St. Elmo’s Fire followed seven Georgetown University friends as they adjusted to post-grad life. Lowe explained that the theme of the follow-up film would be “that it’s never too late for happiness.”
“Our kids are out of school and maybe some of us have been divorced and maybe somebody has been falling ill — all the things that you deal with as you get to our ages, this is an opportunity to explore those themes with characters that people know and love,” the actor said.
