Richard Curtis, the British screenwriter and director who brought to life some of the most iconic romantic comedies ever - with these including Love Actually, Notting Hill, and Four Weddings and a Funeral - has announced his next project.

As the BBC reports, Curtis will be bringing Christmas Actually to London's Royal Festival Hall this December, with this project being a stage show that will serve as a fundraiser for Comic Relief, a charity that operates in the UK.

There's no word on what the show will specifically be about just yet, as Curtis notes that "it'll be a real chocolate box - or perhaps advent calendar - of delights." What we do know is that this won't be a sequel to Love Actually, unfortunately.

Christmas Actually will be performed eight times between December 7-11.
