Princess Diaries 3: Mia Returns to Genovia

0:00It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, where pop culture meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Fans of the Princess Diaries have waited over 20 years since the second movie dropped in 2004, but Princess Diaries 3 is finally. Gaining steam. Anne Hathaway, our girl Mia Thermopolis, just confirmed she's deep in script revisions, keeping the fairy tale alive with Disney. Back in late 2022, Disney gave the green light, hiring a writer from shows like Reacher and bringing back the original producer. Then in October 2024, they tapped director Adele Lim from Joy Ride to lead it, with plans to shoot the next year, though that got pushed. Hathaway hyped it up right away, posting clips and saying miracles happen, ready to head back to Genovia with the team. A casting call even teased a plot pulling from the books, featuring Mia's secret half-sister Olivia, a sharp 15-year-old dealing with family. Drama. Delay's hit from Hathaway's pack slate, like jumping into Devilwears' Prada 2.

Author Meg Capit's spill that she's read the full script. It has roles for everyone, including Julie Andrews, and they've even rented a castle location. Now it's just about lining up schedules to make the magic happen.
