Bridesmaids fans could be in for a surprise at this year's Oscars ceremony.
PEOPLE has learned that a Bridesmaids reunion is in the works for the 2026 Oscars ceremony — and first-time nominee Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCarthy are in talks to appear. Variety was first to report on the reunion.
2026 marks 15 years since the hit comedy was released. Directed by Paul Feig, Bridesmaids was written by Wiig and Annie Mumolo, who were nominated for Best Original Screenplay when the film was released in 2011. McCarthy also earned her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Byrne is nominated this year's Oscars in the Best Actress category for her performance in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.
