For fans of the BBC show “Absolutely Fabulous,” be prepared for more of Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone, because, according to The Hollywood Reporter, BBC America and Logo has struck a deal to bring the popular 1990s show back.

Both BBC America and Logo will air three new specials starring writer-actress Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as their famous characters.

“We hope that, like a good bottle of champagne we have grown better with age but lost none of our sparkle,” said Saunders. “We fully intend to party like it’s 1991.”

She also said, “When we started filming in West London, it was like time had stood still…Nevertheless we are happy to be working for an audience that has grown just a tiny bit older, like us, but is still willing to let us fall over on the TV in the name of PR.”

“All of the originals who are back together again are still truly absolutely fabulous and we hope that the new adventures of Edina, Patsy, Saffy, Bubble and Mother, plus a few surprising guests, will entertain both our tried and trusted U.S. fans as well as gain us some new friends,” said executive producer Jon Plowman.
