Edina and Patsy seem to be having a ball in the first clip from their big screen outing.
Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley are set to return this summer as Edina and Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie – with the first teaser having been released online.
The legendary fashionistas are seen cruising on a speedboat, sipping cocktails, and taking a slow-motion walk along the beach – in what seems at first to be a drink commercial.
A blurb for the film reads: “Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London’s trendiest hotspots.
“But when they are blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi.
“Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forevermore!”
She wrote: “Have some respect. Hire Asian actors 4 Asian roles. I’m not going to name the production but I’m DISGUSTED!.
“#YELLOWFACE is racism. Sorry. It’s unacceptable. Not now. I was thrilled about #abfabmovie but now I just can’t be. I’m very disappointed,” Cho added.
Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie will be released on July 1.
