After the huge success of the romantic comedy film Red, White & Royal Blue, Amazon MGM Studios has decided to greenlight the development of a sequel. The sequel will see the return of stars Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez, who captured the hearts of viewers in the original film.
Matthew López, who made his feature debut with the first film, will be returning to write the script for the sequel, this time alongside Casey McQuiston, the author of the original novel. The film will once again be produced by Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti Schechter Films, along with Michael McGrath and López, with McQuiston serving as an executive producer.
Released last August, Red, White & Royal Blue follows the story of Alex Claremont-Diaz (Perez), who finds himself in the spotlight after his mother (played by Uma Thurman) is elected President. The film explores the dynamics between Alex and his royal counterpart, Prince Henry (Galitzine), as they navigate a growing friendship that turns into a secret romance, creating complications for both of their nations.
While specific details about the plot of the sequel are being kept under wraps, fans can expect the same level of humor, heart, and romance that made the original film a hit. The announcement of the sequel’s development came during a Q&A session following a screening of the first film, generating excitement among fans.
Red, White & Royal Blue was the top-watched film worldwide on Amazon in its first three weeks of release and led to a significant increase in subscribers for the streaming platform. The film’s success has catapulted its stars, Galitzine and Perez, into the spotlight, with both actors landing roles in other high-profile projects.
Nicholas Galitzine can currently be seen in Prime Video’s The Idea of You and Starz’s Mary & George, while Taylor Zakhar Perez has been featured in The Kissing Booth films and Starz’s Minx. The success of Red, White & Royal Blue has opened up new opportunities for all those involved, showcasing their talents to a global audience.
The development of a sequel to Red, White & Royal Blue is a testament to the impact and success of the original film. With a talented team behind the project and a dedicated fan base eagerly anticipating its release, the sequel is poised to continue the heartwarming story of love, friendship, and international intrigue.
