It’s been years of speculation, but the wait for Mamma Mia 3 might finally be coming to an end! Back in 2020, producer Judy Craymer teased that she always envisioned the franchise as a trilogy. Then, in August 2024, Christine Baranski (Tanya) dropped a bombshell: the script is ready, and the film is officially in development.

Amanda Seyfried Wants Sabrina Carpenter to Join the Party
In what might be the best casting rumor yet, Amanda Seyfried (Sophie) revealed that she’s all for bringing pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter into the mix.
“I think it would be amazing if she played my daughter,” Seyfried said in a recent interview.
And honestly, she’s got a point. Carpenter has been absolutely killing it on stage, even performing ABBA covers during her latest tours. Sounds like destiny to us!

More ABBA, But With a Twist
As expected, ABBA’s iconic music will remain at the heart of Mamma Mia 3, but this time, with a fresh twist. Craymer hinted that the film might feature songs from the band’s 2021 album Voyage, including the hit “Don’t Shut Me Down.”
This would mark the first time a Mamma Mia! film includes ABBA’s newer material, breathing new life into the beloved musical franchise. Let’s just say, we’re here for it!

When Can We Expect Mamma Mia 3?
While there’s no official release date yet, production is expected to start soon, meaning we could be looking at a 2026 premiere—assuming everything goes smoothly with cast schedules and script finalization.
The plot is rumored to focus on Sophie and her daughter, ushering in a new generation while keeping our OG favorites in the mix. And yes, that means Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, and the rest of the gang could be making their grand return to that dreamy Greek island.
So, get ready for more ABBA, more drama, and—if we’re lucky—more show-stopping dance numbers under the Mediterranean sun. Opa!
