March 6 (UPI) -- Red Nose Day Actually producer Emma Freud is offering a glimpse of what fans may expect from the upcoming Love Actually sequel short.

"And here he is. Our prime minister. Again. And still hot. #rednosedayactually," Freud tweeted Sunday, along with a photo of Hugh Grant, who played David in the original, 2000 movie.

"Our pm is still married. And she's still lovely. #rednosedayactually," the producer added, posting a picture of Martine McCutcheon reprising her role of former Downing Street staffer Natalie.

The mini-movie is part of the BBC's Red Nose Day fundraiser Comic Relief, which is set to air on British television on March 24. The short is expected to offer updates on the characters memorably played by Grant and McCutcheon, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy, Andrew Lincoln, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lucia Moniz, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Olivia Olson, Marcus Brigstocke and Rowan Atkinson.

Emma Thompson has said she will not return for the sequel since Alan Rickman, the actor who played her screen husband, died in real life last year and to work without him would be "sad, too sad."
