Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell and their Four Weddings and a Funeral co-stars are back together in the first teaser image for the Comic Relief sequel, One Red Nose Day and a Wedding.

The first look shot sees Grant and MacDowell back in the iconic rom-com roles of Charles and Carrie, dressed in their wedding guest finest.

Rowan Atkinson, who is reprising his part as the hapless priest Father Gerald, is also on board as well as Kristin Scott Thomas as Fiona, Sophie Thompson as Lydia and John Hannah as Matthew.

Also present in the promotional shot are Anna Chancellor, who returns as Henrietta (aka Duckface), David Haig as Bernard and James Fleet as Tom.

The short film marks the first time that the high profile cast has reunited since the original Four Weddings movie was released in 1994.

Directed by Mike Newell and with a script by Richard Curtis, One Red Nose Day and a Wedding will pick up 25 years after the events of the original film.

It will be broadcast on BBC One on March 15 during Red Nose Day 2019, and will then air on NBC in the USA on May 23.

The 12-minute special comes after Curtis brought back Love Actually’s best-loved characters, including Grant’s Prime Minister, for a Comic Relief reunion in 2017.

The writer’s partner Emma Freud shared images from the set of the Four Weddings sequel in December, shortly after the BBC announced the spin-off.

Lily James is thought to be starring as Grant’s daughter, now a bride-to-be herself, while Sam Smith is rumoured to be playing a wedding singer.

Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid was also pictured on set as an extra.

One Red Nose Day and a Wedding will air on BBC One on March 15.
