US EditionAnne Hathaway Wants The Princess Diaries 3 to Be Her 'Next' Film
Meg Cabot said the sequel is still in development as producers keep working on the script and a direct follow-up remains unconfirmed by Disney.
- On Sunday at New York City's BookCon, author Meg Cabot confirmed that filming for The Princess Diaries 3 has not yet begun, with production awaiting the availability of lead actress Anne Hathaway.
- Hathaway's packed schedule, specifically her work on The Devil Wears Prada 2, has effectively delayed production timelines; she admitted the sequel "took over" her plans, making it impossible to focus on both films.
- Although "chipping away at the script," Hathaway stressed the project is "not greenlit or confirmed yet," intending to make the third installment her next film while audience expectations remain "very, very high."
- Director Adele Lim and producer Debra Martin Chase are leading development for Disney, with the team having already secured a filming location despite the project remaining in active preparation.
- Original star Dame Julie Andrews remains unconfirmed as fans await the return to Genovia, though Hathaway has expressed her commitment to the franchise as development moves forward.
