The long-awaited Love Actually mini-sequel finally premiered on Thursday in the US in honor of Red Nose Day, a renowned fundraiser held by Comic Relief that aids children in developing countries around the world. Fourteen years after the classic rom-com released in 2003, some of its stars are reuniting to reprise the film: Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Andrew Lincoln, Bill Nighy, Lucia Moniz, Rowan Atkinson, Marcus Brigstocke, Olivia Olson and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

Watch it here, then read a full breakdown of every scene below:

David (Hugh Grant) recreates his iconic dance scene. In his role as Prime Minister, Grant shows off his moves again, but this time to "Hotline Bling" by Drake.

He ends up having to wear a sling on his arm, which doesn't get past the reporters.

Mark (Andrew Lincoln) repeats the card skit. But this time, reveals he's married―to KATE MOSS. Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Juliet (Keira Knightley) are still together and happy, by the way.

Do Jamie (Colin Firth) and Aurelia (Lúcia Moniz) have kids?? This behind-the-scenes shot from Entertainment Weekly shows three youngins in the back of their car.

And apparently, Aurelia announces that she's pregnant again.

Joanna and Sam are getting married! Fourteen years after winning him over with her rendition of "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Joanna and Sam are all grown up. After taking a trip to the US, the couple returns to the UK so she can ask his stepdad, Daniel (Liam Neeson) for his hand in marriage.

David closes with another empowering speech. "Wherever you see tragedy, you see bravery too - wherever you see ordinary people in need, you see extraordinary ordinary people come to their aid," he said, tying in to the charitable theme.

"Today is Red Nose Day and people are giving their hard-earned cash to people they'll never meet. But whose pain and fear they feel and want to fight. So, it's not only romantic love that's all around - most people still, every day, everywhere, have enough love in their heart to help other human beings in trouble. Good's going to win. I'm actually sure of it."

But he also threw in a little dig at Piers Morgan:

Red Nose Day Actually airs Thursday, May 25 at 10 PM EST on NBC.
