Production

[edit]

In March 2016, Garry Marshall announced plans for a third The Princess Diaries film, with Anne Hathaway reprising her role as Mia Thermopolis once she had given birth to her first son.[1] However, when Marshall passed away in July 2016, the project was shelved indefinitely.[2] In August of the same year, Hector Elizondo discussed the development of the third installment stating, "I know Anne would like to do it. I know Julie would like to do it. I would like to do it. So we're on board, it's a question of when and a question of getting a good story. I'm ready! It's time to go back to Genovia!".[3] In May 2018, Anne Hathaway stated that she would still like to appear in a third Princess Diaries film.[2] By January 2019, she confirmed that a script was completed, that she and Andrews were on board to co-star in the film, and that producer Debra Martin Chase would return. She further stated that the film would not enter production until "it's perfect".[4]

Walt Disney Pictures announced that it was developing a new Princess Diaries film in November 2022 and that Debra Martin Chase would return to produce with Aadrita Mukerji writing the script. Anne Hathaway had not signed a deal to return in the lead role of Mia Thermopolis, however she publicly stated her support for a third installment, and the hope is that she would return should the potential new film move forward beyond the script stage.[5] In April 2024, Hathaway stated that development was "in a good place."[6] In October, Adele Lim had been hired to direct the film, and Flora Greeson writing the script, and Hathaway confirmed to reprise her role as Mia.[7][8]

Principal photography is scheduled to begin in 2025.[7]
