The Return of a Beloved Classic
Fans of Anne Hathaway's iconic film, 'The Princess Diaries,' which first enchanted viewers in 2001, can rejoice as a third installment is officially in the works. After years of uncertainty regarding a sequel, recent news has sparked renewed enthusiasm among the audience. Earlier this year, it was announced that the screenplay for 'Princess Diaries 3' has been finalized, much to the excitement of Meg Cabot, the author behind the original book series.
In a recent chat with a prominent media outlet, Cabot shared her excitement about the screenplay, saying, "I read a script, and it was fantastic. I told them not to send any more because I love it so much." She expressed her hope that the production team would choose this version, calling it one of the best she has encountered. "Fingers crossed that’s the one they’ll go with, but it’s a really fun concept, and I’m fully supportive of it," she added, hinting at the thrilling direction the film might take.
The path to 'Princess Diaries 3' has been quite a journey. After the second film's release in 2004, the project faced numerous delays, especially following the death of director Garry Marshall in 2016. However, in 2022, the film was revitalized, with Anne Hathaway confirming her return as Princess Mia. In April, Kathleen Marshall, Garry's daughter, provided updates on the film's development, stating, "We’re making progress. There’s an incredible team in place. So it’s happening. It’s happening."
While promoting her upcoming project, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' Hathaway also discussed the film's progress. She acknowledged the high expectations from fans, stating, "Absolutely, we’re continuously working on it," and highlighted the importance of creating a film that lives up to those expectations. Her dedication to the project reflects the enthusiasm shared by both the cast and crew for the franchise.
In addition to her role in 'Princess Diaries 3,' Hathaway has been engaged in various other projects. She has appeared in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' and 'Mother Mary,' and is set to star in 'The End of Oak Street' alongside Ewan McGregor. Moreover, she will feature in Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' and the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 'Verity.' With several films scheduled for release in 2026, Hathaway continues to affirm her position as a leading actress in Hollywood.
