The 1980s was a decade filled with iconic movies and unforgettable performances, and one group of actors and actresses who truly embodied the spirit of the era was the Brat Pack. Comprised of young stars who starred in popular coming-of-age films, the Brat Pack aimed to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Rat Pack from the 1950s.

Members of the Brat Pack included Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, and Demi Moore. These talented individuals starred in classic movies such as Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and St. Elmo’s Fire, creating a lasting impact on pop culture.

Recently, the Brat Pack members reunited for a documentary titled BRATS, which premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival. The documentary follows Andrew McCarthy as he reconnects with his former co-stars to discuss the mid-’80s Brat Pack phenomenon that they were all a part of.

BRATS is set to premiere on Hulu on June 13, 2024, allowing fans of these beloved actors and actresses to delve deeper into the history and legacy of the Brat Pack. The reunion of these stars serves as a nostalgic trip down memory lane for those who grew up watching their films and admiring their talent.
