It is reported that it could follow a different set of characters in a different location each season, with the lead staying the same.

It's not yet known if the slightly dodgy 90s fashions will also be making a return, or whether it will be set in the US or UK.

The film, which made a star of Grant, tells the story of his character Charles, who lives in London and falls in love with an American called Carrie, played by Andie MacDowell.

It shows Charles and his group of friends navigating the four nuptuals and one sad farewell.

Curtis went on to write a string of hits including Notting Hill and Love Actually, both also starring Grant.
