Absolutely Fabulous Could be Getting a Prequel

Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders in Absolutely Fabulous

It’s true, a prequel to Absolutely Fabulous is actually a real possibility.

It was suggested by series writer Jennifer Saunders that the Absolutely Fabulous movie would be the last Ab Fab we’d be getting. Producer Jon Plowman, however, has now revealed that a prequel movie is a real possibility.

“Another Ab Fab movie? Who can say?,” Plowman told RadioTimes.

“We have talked for a few minutes about doing a prequel – how did they all meet and get together when they were much, much younger,” he continued. “It hasn’t got anywhere yet and indeed may never get anywhere. It may be the worst idea anybody has ever had.

“So we could do that. We could equally do them in very old age like we did in an earlier episode [of the TV show].”

The first episode of the uncensored, badly behaved show aired in 1992 but over 25 years on, we still want more.
