Kate Hudson to make How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days sequel, 23 years on
Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, her co-star from the 2003 rom-com, could be reunited for the sequel.
A sequel to the 2005 romantic comedy "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" is in development more than two decades after the original hit film's release. Kate Hudson, the original star, is set to produce the new movie. Matthew McConaughey, 56, could reprise his role as Benjamin, the character she wooed in the first film. The original story revolved around journalist Andie, played by Hudson, who convinced her boss she could get a man to leave her in just 10 days.
Hudson will produce the sequel alongside Stacey Sher, known for hits like Pulp Fiction and Matilda. The film's budget is uncertain at this point, but the original grossed nearly $180 million worldwide. Hudson's most recent film role was in 2025's "Song Sung Blue," for which she received an Oscar nomination. McConaughey has starred in a variety of films including "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Magic Mike."
The new sequel would join a trend of nostalgic remakes in Hollywood, following "The Devil Wears Prada 2" which also starred an Andy played by Anne Hathaway. McConaughey recalled their first meeting with Hudson, saying they immediately "jacked with each other" and had a lot of fun.
