After two years of uncertainty for whether she’d return to the franchise, Anne Hathaway is officially coming back for The Princess Diaries 3. Development on a third installment in the coming-of-age comedy movie series was first announced in late 2022 as Disney was moving forward with Reacher‘s Aadrita Mukerji writing the screenplay. Throughout the past two years, original star Julie Andrews has expressed uncertainty about her potential return, while Hathaway’s talks for Princess Diaries 3 were said to be underway in April 2024.
Hathaway took to her Instagram to confirm her return for The Princess Diaries 3 with a video post. As seen below, the Oscar winner can be seen counting up from one to three, interspliced with clips from the previous movies of her and Julie Andrews’ characters exclaiming “Shut up!“, before getting to three, in which she says it herself and cuts to a screenshot of the announcement that Adele Lim would be directing.
Hathaway’s caption further cemented the fact she would be back for the threequel, as it not only celebrated that “miracles happen“, but expressed her gratitude to be going “Back to Genovia“ with Lim, Disney and Somewhere Pictures, her production company, confirming that in addition to starring, she will be producing the film.
