Amanda Seyfried Shares What It Will Take to Make ‘Mamma Mia 3’

During an interview with Deadline at the Toronto International Film Festival, Amanda Seyfried discussed the possibility of a third instalment in the ‘Mamma Mia!’ series.

In an update about the series, the actress portraying Sophie Sheridan shared that although no official announcement has been made yet, talks regarding a potential new episode are underway.

In 2018, Amanda Seyfried, who played in “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again!”, mentioned that original cast members like Christine Baranski, Pierce Brosnan, and Meryl Streep have expressed a desire to return for another film. The first “Mamma Mia!” was an enormous hit in 2008, raking in over $610 million globally, placing it among the year’s most successful films.

Yes, I believe so,” Seyfried said regarding the third film’s progression, followed by a light chuckle. She clarified that big productions such as this one are significantly impacted by studio scheduling rather than merely creative concepts. She disclosed that the sequel’s release was postponed due to scheduling clashes with other prominent films, like the much-anticipated Wicked, featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.

I tried to keep it fun, conversational, and easy to understand while maintaining the essence of the original title.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I recently attended TIFF to witness the premiere of an enthralling musical drama titled “The Testament of Ann Lee“. In this captivating production, our very own Alicia Seyfried portrays the leading role of Ann Lee, the pioneer of the Shaker movement.

Joining her on screen are an exceptional ensemble cast that includes Thomasin McKenzie, Lewis Pullman, Stacy Martin, Tim Blake Nelson, and Christopher Abbott. With a wide release date yet to be announced, this cinematic gem has thus far been gracing film festival stages. I eagerly await the opportunity to share its profound impact with an even broader audience!

According to Seyfried’s updates, there may potentially be another “Mamma Mia!” film, but it’s important for fans to stay patient as details like timing, plot, and studio decisions are crucial factors that will determine if production starts.
