Pretty Woman 2: A Second Chance (2025) has captured the imaginations of fans everywhere, emerging from a blend of viral fan art and speculation rather than official studio announcements. The idea sparked from a viral poster showcasing Julia Roberts and Richard Gere reprising their famed roles as Vivian Ward and Edward Lewis, generating widespread excitement for a reboot of the romantic classic .

Despite the fervor, there is no evidence that a sequel is actually in development. Reliable outlets have confirmed that the poster was fan-made, and Netflix or Universal Pictures have not announced plans for a Pretty Woman sequel . In fact, Julia Roberts herself has expressed reservations about revisiting the character, noting how much the industry—and cultural attitudes—have changed since the original’s release.

Richard Gere recently weighed in as well, stating that his only condition for agreeing to a sequel would be the availability of a truly compelling script. While he remains open in theory, no such project has moved forward publicly .

Nevertheless, fan enthusiasm continues to fuel rich speculation, including rumored plots, new characters, and even a blockbuster production budget—details that have no factual basis but show how deeply the original film resonates . Some rumors suggest a storyline that reunites Vivian and Edward as a mature couple facing new life challenges, with added characters like their adult children portrayed by younger actors. Still, these concepts remain purely hypothetical .

So although Pretty Woman 2 remains a dream for many fans, it is important to recognize that it belongs to the realm of rumor and wishful thinking—for now. The original film’s legacy endures precisely because it stands alone, untouched and timeless, in the hearts of millions.
