Hathaway confirmed her return on social media, by sharing a news story about the third The Princess Diaries film. She captioned with the words “Back to Genovia” and “the fairy tale continues” and shared a video of herself counting to three, intercepted with clips from the original film.

Adele Lim, who made her directorial debut with Joy Ride and wrote the scripts for Crazy Rich Asians and Raya and the Last Dragon, is coming on board as a director.

“As a diehard fan of the original Princess Diaries, I’m beyond excited to be a part of bringing the third iteration of this beloved franchise to life.  We look forward to celebrating its core tenants of female power, joy, and mentorship with audiences worldwide,” said Lin in a statement.

Anne Hathaway made her feature film debut in the adaptation of Meg Cabot’s beloved young adult novel The Princess Diaries in 2001, and starred in its sequel The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement in 2004. The cast of this franchise also included Julie Andrews, Héctor Elizondo, Heather Matarazzo, Mandy Moore, Caroline Goodall, Robert Schwartzman, and Chris Pine.

The Oscar-winning actress is currently busy promoting her new movie Serenity. While appearing on Andy Cohen’s he asked the question that was in the back of everyone’s mind for a long time – is she ever going to step back into Princess Mia’s shoes?

Her answer filled our hearts with joy and it seems everyone who was on board for the first two films wants to come back. Julie Andrews and producer Debra Martin Chase are both super-interested, and the first draft of the script already exists.

“It’s just we don’t want to unless it’s perfect because we love it just as much as you guys love it. It’s as important to us as it is to you, and we don’t want to deliver anything until it’s ready, but we’re working on it,” Hathaway
explained.
