Princess Diaries 3 Penned By Aadrita Mukerji Reportedly Underway At Disney

Mia Thermopolis fans unite because Princess Diaries 3 is actually happening and we can't keep calm.

A third Princess Diaries film penned by Aadrita Mukerji (Reacher, Supergirl) is in the works at Disney, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed. The report added that it is a continuation of the Anne Hathaway-led series of films rather than a reboot. However, details as to the threequel’s plot and the involvement of Hathaway and Julie Andrews are currently under wraps.

Two-time Emmy nominee Debra Martin Chase will return to produce the new film after working on both past instalments, with Melissa K. Stack — who scripted the comedy The Other Woman with Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton — to serve as executive producer.

Based on Meg Cabot's novel, the franchise revolves around Hathaway's Mia Thermopolis, an unpopular teenager who discovers she is the heir to the European kingdom of Genovia. The first part was released in 2001 and its sequel The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement was out in 2004. Julie Andrews co-starred in both films as Mia’s grandmother and Genovia’s Queen regent, Clarisse Renaldi, with the two big-screen releases collectively grossing over $299 worldwide. The late Garry Marshall directed both films — working from scripts by Gina Wendkos for the original and Shonda Rhimes for the sequel.

Will Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews return for the threequel?

Hathaway confirmed her interest in reteaming with the Mary Poppins Oscar winner, as recently as last month. “I would more than entertain it, I’m pulling for it,” she told Entertainment Tonight while promoting her new film, Armageddon Time. “If there’s any way to get Julie Andrews involved, I think we would make it work. We would go to where she was and put a green screen behind her and just make it happen.”

However, an official confirmation of their involvement is awaited.
