While speaking with the press, she revealed that GT2 has officially been greenlit. Details are mostly tightly under wraps. However, she did reveal that the upcoming project will take audiences to an exciting new setting – Africa.
Afterward, the director gave confirmation that her sequel will see the leading ladies attend the Coachella-inspired festival.
