Disney reportedly wants to revisit the world of The ‘Princess Diaries’.
As per reports, a new sequel of the Disney installation is in development at the House of Mouse with Aadrita Mukerji (Supergirl, Reacher, Quantum Leap) writing the screenplay.
According to the report, the plan is for the film to serve as a new sequel to the previous movies featuring Anne Hathaway, however, the actress has not signed on for this planned third installment. Hathaway has previously expressed interest in a return, making it seem likely she’d be on board.
The third Princess Diaries movie will be produced by Debra Martin Chase, who also produced the previous installments. Godmothered scribe Melissa Stack is executive producing. A director hasn’t yet been named for the project; Garry Marshall, who helmed the previous two movies, passed away in 2016.

Released in 2001 and written by Gina Wendkos, The Princess Diaries was based on the original novel by Meg Cabot, albeit loosely. The film marked Anne Hathaway’s feature debut, starring her as a shy American teenager who learns she’s the heir to the throne of a European kingdom.
Her estranged grandmother and the reigning queen is played by Julie Andrews with the cast also including Hector Elizondo, Heather Matarazzo, Mandy Moore, and Caroline Goodall. The film was a box office hit with more than $165 million earned against its budget of around $26 million.
