Ralphie to the rescue! Or rather, adulthood! Peter Billingsley is set to return as Ralphie in a sequel to 'A Christmas Story,' which is currently in development.
In a move that's not so surprising, Warner Bros. has announced a sequel to A Christmas Story, the beloved holiday film starring Peter Billingsley as Ralphie. According to Deadline, the sequel will land on HBO Max, more than likely in time for the holidays. Billingsley will be reprising his role from the original film, though he will now be an adult aiming to create the same holiday magic he experienced growing up for his own children. Production is set to start late next month in Bulgaria.
"The film follows an adult Ralphie in the 1970s, who returns to the house on Cleveland street to deliver his kids a magical Christmas like the one he had growing up. With the same attention to the real-life tone of the first, Ralphie reconnects with childhood friends, reconciles the passing of his Old Man and sews the seeds for the origins of the beloved Holiday classic."
A Christmas Story's sequel currently has no release date, though a holiday season release would be the most appropriate.
