Fans of early 2000s classics have a reason to celebrate. Two iconic films—The Princess Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada—are getting sequels, bringing back cherished characters and continuing beloved storylines. The Princess Diaries 3 is set to feature Anne Hathaway reprising her role as Mia Thermopolis, now the Queen of Genovia. This third instalment, directed by Adele Lim—known for Crazy Rich Asians and the animated movie Raya and the Last Dragon—comes over two decades after the last film, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.

Lim expressed her enthusiasm, stating she’s excited to celebrate themes of female power and mentorship. While it’s uncertain if Julie Andrews will return as Queen Clarisse, Hathaway is committed to trying to involve her. Fans can look forward to more royal adventures, with Mia navigating her role as queen.
