London’s favourite boozy femme-fatales are back, and they’re up to their old tricks again.

After doing what they do best and stirring up a media storm at a high profile fashion event, Edina and Patsy must flee from the ensuing wrath. Their choice location to ride out the storm? The French Riviera of course.

But anyone who’d ever expect these ladies to lie low had better think again. Let two party girls loose in a luxury jungle of glitz, glamour and wealthy, eligible bachelors and it’s a sure recipe for a cocktail of chaos.

As Patsy and Edina hide behind their extra-large shades and soak up the sun, they begin to grow fond of the Mediterranean scene, and decide that they want to trade the city streets for the sandy beaches and they’ve got a plan to make it happen…Written by Jennifer Saunders, the mastermind behind the original show, who also plays Edina, Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie stars Joanna Lumley as Patsy, also reprising her classic character.

A series of Hollywood cool-kids join them on the big screen, including Rebel Wilson (the Pitch Perfect franchise), Cara Delevingne (Paper Towns) and Kim Kardashian West (Keeping Up With the Kardashians).
