Anne Hathaway confirms iconic noughties film series set to return with third film

Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has confirmed some exciting news for fans of her film series, The Princess Diaries. In a recent interview, the actress detailed how she’s entering her ‘mother status’.

The interview was released ahead of the premiere of The Idea of You as Solène Marchand, a movie likened to a story of a single mother falling in love with a Harry Style-esque character at Coachella, starring alongside Red, White & Royal Blue star Nicholas Galitzine. The film releases on Thursday, May 2 on Amazon Prime Video.

She appeared in two instalments of The Princess Diaries back in the early 2000s, and seemingly confirmed to VMagazine that the series is tipped for another sequel. The Devil Wears Prada star spoke about the potential returns of some of her most iconic films.

When asked about a third instalment of The Princess Diaries, Anne said: “We’re in a good place. That’s all I can say. There’s nothing to announce yet. But we’re in a good place.”

She was also asked about the possibility of a potential Devil Wears Prada sequel. Anne was reunited with co-stars Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep at this year's Academy Awards. However, fans have had their hopes dashed.

The actress told the publication: “Probably not. We all love each other and if somebody could come up with a way to do it, I think we’d all be crazy not to. But there’s a huge difference in the world now with technology, and one of the things about that particular story is it was about producing a physical object.

“Now with so much being digital, it would just be very different. Maybe me, Stanley, Emily, Meryl, Dave Frankel, Patricia Field…we should just all do something else together. That’d be fun.”

Anne Hathaway’s ‘The Idea of You’ will launch on May 2, 2024 on Prime Video.
