The Dirty Dancing franchise consists of American dance-romance installments, including two theatrical films, one television series adaptation, one made-for-TV musical remake movie, five reality competition television shows, and various additional multi-media. Based on an original story by Eleanor Bergstein, the plot centers around young women from past decades who are introduced to dancing by experienced males, with the pair becoming romantically involved.

The original movie initially had mixed critical reception,[2][3][4] despite being a box office success and earning the studios a profit.[5] It has been regarded with positivity over the years from modern analysis, earning its cult status.[6][7][8] The 2004 prequel movie in contrast received mostly negative reviews from critics,[9][10][11] and earned a fraction of its predecessor's income.[12] Similarly, the 2017 television adaptation reviewed negative reviews which compared it as inferior to the theatrical release.[13][14] The various additional media releases have achieved mild successes, with meager critical reception.[15][16][17][18]

The franchise will continue with a legacy sequel film in development, and scheduled for theatrical release in 2025.[19]

In 1963, high school graduate Frances "Baby" Houseman's carefree adventures draw to a close as she is about to enroll in the Peace Corps. With hopes to enjoy her final days of her youth, her hopes find her disappointed at an uneventful resort with her parents. In the quiet Catskill Mountains, she searches for new ways to keep herself entertained. Discovering dance lessons being led by a slightly older Johnny Castle, she quickly finds that her affect for him surpasses her interest in the aerobic sport. As the pair continue dancing they begin to become romantically involved as an upcoming final summer event draws near. Just when they thought their love couldn't end, Baby's father forbids her from continuing to see Johnny. Determined to see all their work realized and to further their relationship, Baby and Johnny pursue their future together in secret.[2][3][20][21][22]

In 1958, an American high school student named Katey Miller moves with her parents and younger sister to Cuba during the Cuban Revolution. Over a series of events where she tries to become familiar with her new home, she meets an unwealthy local waiter named Javier Suarez. As the pair begin spending more time with each other, a romance begins to grow between them. Javier takes Katey to a nightclub to introduce her to moves of his culture. She discovers the activity is her passion, and as the relationship grows more serious, Fidel Castro is named as Prime Minister of the country and quickly rises in power as dictator. Though her parents initially disapproved of their romantic relations, they notify Katey of their plans to flee Cuba and escape the totalitarian leadership emerging. Faced with a difficult decision, she must decide whether her safety is more urgent than her affection for Javier and the Cuban culture.[10][23][24][25][11]

Untitled sequel (2025)

[edit]

In July 2020, a new film starring Jennifer Grey and centered around dancing in the '90s was announced to be in development. Tabloids speculated that this project would be a new Dirty Dancing film.[26] This was confirmed by August of the same year, when a third film intended to serve as the direct sequel to the original, was officially announced to be in development; Grey will reprise her role from the first movie, in addition to serving as executive producer. Jonathan Levine will direct the film, from a script co-written by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis. Gillian Bohrer will serve as producer. The project will be a joint-venture production between Lionsgate Films and Megamix Productions.[27] In September 2021, Grey expressed her excitement for the project while stating that the creatives involved are working hard to get it right for the fans, while paying respects to Swayze who passed in 2009.[28]

In April 2022 at CinemaCon, the project was officially confirmed by Lionsgate to have been green-lit, and entered pre-production. The plot was stated to center around Frances "Baby" Houseman's return to Kellerman's where she will serve as an instructor.[29][30][31] By May, it was confirmed that Jonathan Levine will serve as director, with the most recent draft of the script co-written by Elizabeth Chomko and Levine. The plot will take place in the '90s, and center around a coming-of-age romance of a young woman, who crosses paths with Frances "Baby" Houseman. The studio intends to feature an ensemble cast of characters from the original film, alongside new characters. The filmmaker acknowledged that they are working closely with Patrick Swayze's estate, to incorporate plot elements that reference his character from the first film, Johnny Castle. Levine stated: "...Johnny’s absence looms large over the story...[He] is a part of Baby's journey in the story." The sequel will feature music from the original release, including Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes", as well as songs that were released up to '90s-era hip-hop. Levine will also serve as a producer alongside his business partner, Bohrer. The untitled film will be a presence at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival market as Lionsgate looks for collaborative studios for the project, and is tentatively scheduled for a 2024 release date.[32] In January 2023, Grey stated that there are intentionally no updates regarding the project, as the creatives involved are working hard to make the movie "perfect" before it goes into principal photography.[33]

Principal photography Began on June 30, 2024.[34] The film is scheduled for summer of 2025 release date.[35][36]
