Get your drinks ready, 'Ab Fab' fans - there may be a prequel on the way! 'Absolutely Fabulous' producer Jon Plowman teased a backstory for Edina Monsoon and the gang, confirming that he has spoken to writer Jennifer Saunders to maybe make it happen. "Another Ab Fab movie? Who can say?," Plowman told RadioTimes.com. "We have talked for a few minutes about doing a prequel – how did they all meet and get together when they were much, much younger. It hasn't got anywhere yet and indeed may never get anywhere. It may be the worst idea anybody has ever had," he said.

He also mused that they could do a complete 360 and portray them as much older. "So we could do that. We could equally do them in very old age as we did in an earlier episode [of the TV show]." He also added that the main characters of the legendary show would be recast if they decide to go with a prequel, giving "Jennifer a bit of an easier day" he said.
