Princess Diaries 3 Edges Closer to Production

While initial plans to begin filming this year faced delays, the production team remains committed to the project. Chase, who produced the first two films, noted that the team is buoyed by consistent fan enthusiasm. Anne Hathaway is expected to reprise her iconic role as Mia, who was last seen ascending to the throne of Genovia in 2004.

Kathleen Marshall, daughter of the late director Garry Marshall, echoed this optimism earlier this year, describing an incredible team currently in place to shepherd the film. Hathaway has frequently expressed her desire to return to the franchise, describing the original movie as a life-changing experience. The actress recently navigated another major sequel, returning for The Devil Wears Prada 2, and continues to balance high-profile projects while the Genovia script undergoes its final stages of development.
