Disney fans around the world are in for a treat as the beloved Princess Diaries franchise is getting a third installment. The Hollywood Reporter recently announced that Aadrita Mukerji, known for her work on Supergirl and Reacher, will be penning the script for the highly anticipated movie. Debra Martin Chase, the producer of the first two films, is set to return to produce the new Princess Diaries, while Melissa Stack, the screenwriter for The Other Woman, will be the executive producer.
Based on Meg Cabot’s young adult novels, the upcoming movie will continue the storyline established in the previous films, rather than starting from scratch. However, the return of Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews, who played the iconic roles of Princess Mia and Queen Clarisse, is still up in the air. While Hathaway has expressed her enthusiasm for reprising her role, Disney has yet to confirm their involvement.
Julie Andrews, who portrayed the beloved Queen Clarisse, previously expressed doubts about a third movie ever coming to fruition, especially after the passing of the original director, Garry Marshall. However, hopes were reignited when Adele Lim was announced as the director for the new Princess Diaries film. Lim, known for her work on Joy Ride and Raya and the Last Dragon, expressed her excitement to bring the beloved franchise back to life.
In a recent interview, Hathaway hinted that the production of the third Princess Diaries movie is in a good place, sparking excitement among fans. While details about the upcoming film are still scarce, fans can rest assured that the core themes of female empowerment, joy, and mentorship will be celebrated in the new installment.
With the official announcement of the director and the progress of the production, fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on the third Princess Diaries movie. As the beloved characters of Princess Mia and Queen Clarisse may or may not make a return, the anticipation for the new installment continues to grow. Stay tuned for more news and updates on the royal return to Genovia!
