Four years after the announcement of the sequel to 'Dirty Dancing' starring Jennifer Grey, there is finally some news. Jennifer Grey speaks out. In 2020, it was announced that Jennifer Grey (64) would reprise her iconic role as "Baby" in a sequel to the 1987 classic film 'Dirty Dancing'. Originally scheduled for release in 2024, the release was postponed by Lionsgate due to last year's strikes in Hollywood.
