The cast of "Love Actually" is reuniting, and for me, this news is perfect.

The cast of Love Actually will reunite.

An amazing group of original cast members will reunite for an ABC News one-hour special titled Laughs and Secrets 20 Years After Love Actually: A Diane Sawyer Special, which will air on November 29.

ABC's 20/20 Twitter account shared the happy news along with a teaser for the special featuring the following actors: Hugh Grant (Prime), Emma Thompson (Karen), Laura Linney (Sarah), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Sam), Bill Nye (Billy Mac), Olivia Olson (Joanna), and director Richard Curtis; according to People, the special will also feature a message from Martin McCutcheon (Natalie).

Other stars such as Keira Knightley (Juliet) and Colin Firth (Jamie) have skipped the reunion.

In the teaser, moderator Diane Sawyer asks all interviews to complete the sentence "love actually is... " and asks them to complete the sentence, to which Grant replies "dead." Frankly, as a celebrity reporter, I don't always disagree.

Thompson also recalls Grant asking her, "Is that the most psycho thing you've ever done?" She remembers asking, and Grant revealed that he came up with the idea of having his assistant catch him dancing an iconic dance number.

ABC announced in a press release that the special "will look at how the film became a beloved Christmas tradition and a worldwide sensation, with behind-the-scenes secrets and new insights into the iconic scene."

They added, "The special will also examine how the COVID-19 pandemic focused on the ways we love and connect and the omnipresent acts of kindness within our families and communities."

Bottom line: it's going to be crazy awesome, and it's going to bring tears to my eyes. What else is new?
