Geena Davis has been vocal about revisiting past characters in sequels, though she has indicated Thelma & Louise would be unlikely to receive a continuation. This was noted during a CinemaCon 2024 interview, where she expressed interest in sequels but singled out Thelma & Louise as unlikely to continue [People, 2024]. This suggests no planned Thelma & Louise sequel or reunion in the near term. [People: Geena Davis Would Revisit Any of Her Characters, Exclusive]

There have been occasional reunions and public appearances by the film’s cast, including a 34-year-later gathering of Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis at fan conventions, highlighting enduring fan interest but not implying new film work together. This kind of event underscores the film’s lasting cultural footprint rather than ongoing production plans (Parade, 2025). [Parade: Thelma & Louise Stars Reunite]

In recent years, Davis has continued to discuss the film’s impact and her broader work on gender representation in media, including her advocacy work and related interviews. Her public remarks often reflect on Thelma & Louise as a landmark in her career, rather than as a platform for new projects tied to the film (multiple outlets, 2023–2025).

There is no confirmed project reviving Thelma & Louise specifically as a film or TV series as of now, and Davis has publicly stated a preference against remakes of Thelma & Louise [IMDb interview coverage, 2025].
