Reuniting for a Red Nose Day special, the Emmy-winning comedy show will see Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan and Sally Phillips all reprise their roles.
The Channel 4 hit first aired in 1999 and ran for three series, finishing with a special in 2003.
Fans are speculating whether the reunion will see updates to some of the original sketches, or brand new material to bring the show into the modern age.
Viewer favourites such as “the insensitive English teacher” are rumoured to be “re-imagined” for the revival.
The BBC have promised “a series of sketches from the popular comedy show” for Red Nose Day, airing next Friday.
Phillips will also have a presenting slot on the night, but isn’t too sure how it will go down.
“I’ve never done any presenting before,” she said. “I’m going to be a car crash!” as she revealed her pre-show warm up would be “running around in terror.”
The special evening of entertainment will also see a revival of Love Actually, with a cast reunion entitled Red Nose Day Actually.
Scriptwriter Emma Freud posted a snap of Hugh Grant accompanied by Martine McCutcheon on the set of the charity revival, revealing a major storyline that their characters are married.
“Our pm is still married. And she’s still lovely. #rednosedayactually,” said Freud, before adding: “The PM, his wife and the writer who never worked out a good camera face. #rednosedayactually,” accompanied by a picture of director husband Richard Curtis.
James Corden will also team up with Take That during BBC’s Red Nose Day proceedings to bring his Carpool Karaoke to the UK.
Comic Relief airs on BBC One on Friday, March 24.
