After nearly two decades, The Princess Diaries (2001) franchise is set to return with a bang. Under the direction of film-maker Adele Lim, The Princess Diaries 3 was announced to be in production. Actor Anne Hathaway will reprise her role as the fan-favourite Queen of Genovia, Mia Thermopolis. Hathaway announced her return for the film by captioning on Instagram, “Miracles Happen… Back to Genovia…The fairytale continues.” This was accompanied by a compilation video of the iconic “shut up” from the first two films, repeating the phrase for the third movie.
According to an article by Deadline, the sequel’s screenplay is being written by Flora Greeson. Producer Debra Martin Chase is expected to return as a co-executive producer with Melissa K. Stack and Naia Cucukov, Lim’s producing partners.
Several actors such as Chris Pine, Mandy Moore, and Sandra Oh have expressed their interest in being in the film. Regarding her return to the third movie, Julie Andrews has stated, “I think we know that it’s probably not going to be possible.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, there is no confirmed release date, but Disney intends to begin production in 2025.
