Four Weddings director Mike Newell is returning to direct this new instalment, which picks up 25 years after the original film.

ONE RED NOSE DAY AND A WEDDING follows on from the huge success of Red Nose Day Actually, a short follow up to Love Actually that premiered during Red Nose Day’s 2017 edition.

The short will also feature as part of NBC’s programming for Red Nose Day USA on Thursday, 23rd May.
