The First Wives Club hive, assemble. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed today that Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, and Bette Midler, who co-starred in the cult 1996 comedy, will reunite for a new movie. If you thought scheming against ex-husbands made for a wild time at the movies, wait until you hear the plot of their next project, titled Family Jewels.

Per THR, the film will follow the three women as they’re forced to spend the holidays together, alongside their kids and grandkids, after their mutual ex dies suddenly. (Petition for a Yuletide-themed musical number in the vein of “You Don’t Own Me,” anyone?)

“The chemistry of Diane, Bette and Goldie is unmatched and irresistible, and I’m thrilled to help reunite them on screen for generations of fans,” producer Bradley Fischer told THR. It’s unclear whether this project has any connection to the Netflix film Divanation, which was set to reunite the trio and was announced in December 2015.

The long-awaited reunion of the three Oscar-nominated actresses came after a First Wives Club sequel failed to get off the ground. In March 2015, Hawn told Harvard Business Review that the co-stars took a salary cut for the first film, which grossed $181 million worldwide. “But two years later, when the studio came back with a sequel, they wanted to offer us exactly the same deal,” she told the outlet. “We went back to ground zero. Had three men come in there, they would have upped their salaries without even thinking about it. But the fear of women’s movies is embedded in the culture.”

Five years later, this cinematic trio is getting the last laugh.
