Rob Lowe teased a sequel to the 1985 classic “St. Elmo’s Fire” during a recent interview. ABC News Studios
While promoting the second season of his comedic Netflix show “Unstable” with his son and co-star, John Owen Lowe, 29, Rob opened up about the rumored reboot.
“We’ve met with the studio, and I have been talking about doing it for about four months,” Rob revealed. “But it’s very, very, very, very, very early stages. So we will see.”
Rob starred alongside Demi Moore, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy in the beloved film, which followed seven friends navigating life and friendships post-college graduation.
Rob, who played Billy Hicks in the pop cultural touchstone, was considered a major Hollywood heartthrob around the time of its release.
“To be a part of something that has the staying power is something. The fact that people are still interested, remember, love the Brat Pack is really, really cool,” Lowe told People after the documentary’s release.
“What was fun about that and what I think is fun about the documentary and fun about talking to Andrew, is how differently we all perceived being a part of that phenomenon. Some people really struggled with it,” he shared.
“We were so lucky to be in the right place at the right time as the movie business was beginning the transition to where it landed and still exists — which is movies made almost exclusively for 18- to 20-year-olds, every summer movie that’s out is geared towards that audience,” he continued. “It wasn’t always like that. We were there at that time that it began.”
“Unstable,” created by Rob and John, follows a son with social problems who is forced to work for the company of his eccentric and exotic father.
“This whole show is based on his incessant trolling of me on his Instagram,” Rob joked. “So the very nature of this relationship, and being able to put it out there on a TV show, is so special.”
Season 2 of “Unstable” premieres on Netflix on August 1.
