A few months have passed since it was announced that the princess diaries 3 will be produced, almost two decades since the last film was released. And with January drawing to a close, the film’s former lead, Anne Hathaway, shared an update on the development.

In an interview with People magazine, Hathaway revealed that she has yet to sign on to be in the next installment of princess diaries since it was confirmed in November 2022. The star expressed how she was excited to see the film receive another entry, but also understood how “frustrating” it was to not hear anything from those working behind the scenes.

At the same time, he expressed that this is normal in the film industry and that all this “requires patience.”

“We feel exactly the same, and I know it’s probably very frustrating. It’s a process that requires patience, so everyone should consider themselves part of the movie business now, because this is how long it really takes to get things done.”

Despite Hathaway not signing on, she expressed support for the film’s return in October 2022. She told Entertainment Tonight that she would be open to working for the film and hopes her co-star Julie Andrews will also consider returning. Unfortunately, it was revealed in an interview with Access Hollywood that Andrews may not reprise her role in the next film.

It was reported last year that Aadrita Mukerji, known for her work on the CW DC series, supergirl, will be writing the script for the next film. Joining her are princess diaries producer Debra Martin Chase and The other womanby Melissa Pila.

The princess’s Diary was a coming-of-age film that was first released in 2001. It was about a young teenage girl trained to be the next princess after it was revealed that she inherited the throne in the kingdom of Genovia. A sequel was released in 2004, taking place five years after the first film.
