Is the OG rom-com coming back to fans? Well, the queen of the genre herself, Meg Ryan, caused quite the stir when she posted a photo of herself with her When Harry Met Sally costar Billy Crystal on Wednesday, January 22. Keep reading for everything we know about a possible When Harry Met Sally reboot. 

Here’s everything we know so far about a potential When Harry Met Sally reboot. 

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal may be a dynamic duo once again

More than 35 years after they made rom-com history as friends-to-lovers Sally Albright and Harry Burns in Rob Reiner’s 1989 hit, Crystal and Ryan have confirmed that they are sharing the screen once again—but they’re staying tight-lipped about any details, for now. 

“It’s finally happening, we’re reuniting for something iconic,” Ryan wrote in the caption of the massively-engaged-with post. “Can’t wait to show you all soon.” 

In the photo, Crystal, 76, wears a white knit turtleneck sweater like Harry’s in the movie, and the brown couch and wallpaper that set the backdrop for the actors is reminiscent of the setting for the couple interviews in the film

Naturally, Ryan’s social media statement made quite the stir, with beloved celebrities quickly chiming in with excitement. 

“I knew. I knew the way you know about a good melon,” Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond wrote in the post’s comments, referring to the final scene of the ‘89 classic. “My brain can’t handle this!!!! I want in! Omg!!!!” Office alum Jenna Fischer chimed in, seconded by comedy icon Debra Messing. Though the details remain close to the stars’ chests as of publication, it was clear from the jump just how thrilled fans and fellow actors alike are.

What are Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal filming together?

No details have been disclosed about the exact form of content, but fans are speculating that due to the proximity of this year’s Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9, we might be getting a commercial for the ages. 

This theory holds up, as the football event is known for its commercials, and particularly for reuniting beloved actors. For example, Friends stars Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer drew laughs last year during a skit where the former forgot she knew the latter. In 2013, Full House leading men John Stamos, Dave Coulier and Bob Saget teamed up for an Oikos yogurt promotion. 

Now it seems it may be the turn of one of most notable onscreen couples in movie history. Regardless of when and where the reunion will air, signs point to it being When  Harry Met Sally themed. 

The pair last reunited in 2019

In honor of the film’s 30th anniversary, Ryan, Crystal and Reiner came together for the 10th annual Turner Classic Movies Festival in 2019 to watch a special screening of their project. Until now, this was the most recent public appearance the actors made together. 

While addressing the audience in attendance, Ryan gushed about her chemistry with Crystal, crediting their spark for the film’s impact, People reported. 

“It’s the kind of music Billy and I knew how to play together,” she said.
