It’s finally happened. The trailer for the upcoming Love Actually reunion has hit the Internet. And people cannot deal with it.
Everyone’s favourite Christmas movie from 2003 is being revisited in a ten-minute sequel for Comic Relief this year.
Now, though, the trailer - which has been viewed a staggering 3.2 million times in less that 24 hours - shows the actors teasing film buffs in the style of Andrew Lincoln’s now-iconic placard scene while a very familiar score plays in the background.
Fans will be updated on what the characters are up to now 14 years on, and the A-list cast has reportedly been busy filming the sequel in recent weeks.
Naturally, fans have taken to social media fit to burst at the news:
Ok so no one told me that #loveactually is getting a sequel tomorrow and I'm don't think I'm emotionally ready yet...

So I have a deep, dark confession to make. Despite how trendy it is to hate on Love Actually, I genuinely love it. #noshame #notsorry

The absence of the late and great Alan Rickman has definitely been felt by many also:
@BBCOne This is going to be hard without Alan Rickman.
